uable to get usb connection working

since around a week ago my phone has not been able to connect to the usb ,
it does still charge via usb cable from the pc but the cable is not detected for mass storage ,kies or usb debug .
i know drivers are ok on pc as my wifes phone still connects fine .
is there any way to test that the usb socket is broken internally

i am haing same prob here after flashing a rom

just backing phone up with clockwork mod then going to do a factory restore to see if it cures the problem ,dont think it will but i can but try . device doesnt even go into mtp ? mode .
even in clockwork recovery when the usb is mounted as mass storage it isnt detected
well tried that no success , cant send phone back as cant factory restore it as i cant connect to odin. by the way what rom are you running and what version of galaxy have you got 8gb or 16gb

Have you tried the debugging mode?
EDIT : Try installing the usb drivers from my signature.

ive tried debugging mode no different , i can even select - deselect usb debugging whist the usb cable is connected .
the usb drivers from your sig are for windows x64
my wifes galaxy s is detected by the computer fine ,same usb cable and port

What OS are you running?

windows 7 32 bit
galaxy s 16gb with darkys v8 gingerbread (previously darkys version 6)

Can't you get hold of a friend's usb cable?

hi i have multiple usb cables here 2 original samsung galaxy cables plus multiple other micro usb cables . non of which work with the phone . not to sound ignorant but dont you think i have tried the obvious things first ?

Try a wipe/reset
If that doesnt work, try an other rom .... Stock or non-darkyy
If that doesnt work, im afraid there is a hardware problem

DID you try to put a RIGHT cable into a WRONG hole???

You are not alone, I have exactly the same problem, but wrote it off as a hardware problem, because it started after my son (9 months and teething) gnawed on the phone for some time...

ok tried different roms etc no luck must be hardware related going to open the phone tomorrow and check the usb socket . only really worried incase i need to use odin to recover after a bad flash , or incase the usb decides to die completely and i cant charge the phone

Hey Jona29 i had the same problem some time ago i solved it by changing usb port (preferably one direct to motherboard) while pc is off then start it while in download mode and flash with odin.
Good luck bud, i know how frustrating it is

UPDATE ! fixed the phone ,yes it was hardware not software at fault . dissasembled the phone and removed the board with the usb connector on .
heated the board around the connector with a pyro pen to reflow the solder
let it cooled and then reassembled the phone .
powered up phone and connected usb lead ,computer recognised phone and phone recognised usb connection
probably took me 30 mins to complete the task.
better than say a 4 week wait from samsung

Slick. I have taken my phone apart for USB problems as well, but I would be scared to try to reflow something on the PBC. The connections are so small.
I have had the USB issue as well but it always seemed to be the cooked ROM iI was using.

I had the same problem, after using DXJPA ... every time i connected the phone (even in boot mode) i received "USB device not recognized" ... I don't know what worked in the end, but i tried a lot of things: I bought a new cable (same problem), I used another computer (same problem), I tried on W7 x64, W7 x32, XP SP3 (same problem), uninstalled and reinstalled Kies, I uninstalled and reinstalled an older version of Kies, changed the phone form a computer to another, played a lot with USB ports ...
After 2-3 hours of pain, Odin saw the phone ... flash it to JPY and no USB problem anymore ...
Maybe this will help someone

USB problem with HTC Desire HD

Hey guys,
I currently recently installed a custom ROM from this website and for some reason now when I plug in my USB into my PC it comes up not being detected so when I put my phone as hard drive so I want to transfer music, it doesn't detect it. Can anybody help me if this is ROM problem or just my USB?

Hey,
Okay I disabled USB debugging didn't know it was on, still doesn't work says windows cannot find USB device not reconginzed when I connect the USB. For the Reinstalling usb driver I do not know how to this ~?

i have the same problem.. turn "fast boot" off and restart the phone.. this always works for me.. hope this helps

Hey, I turned fastboot off. Doesn't work. I ordered new usb cable.. hopefully this works and it was just a fault with the cable!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Usually this is a problem with the cable. Simple, cheap to fix. Keep your old cable around for charging though (nice to have a spare)

Is this problem with the USB still active?
If so try a different PC just in order to eliminate WinOS issues.
If not close.

Hi,
I have the same problem at some months ago. I tried the cable and pfone on another PC, and it works fine. So, I recommend to try it on another PC and reinstall your Windows.
brgs,
Herold

Had the same propblem! Turns out it was the usb cable, it charged fine with the cable but data transfer didnt work.

i also had the same problem since last week and still cant resolve till now...i try all the option that u gave(change cable/pc,turn off fastboot)....i even sent my phone to shop and they still cant detect.they said maybe the usb port is damage or some software that may block my usb port?is it true? anyone can help?????

What happened last week? Is that when you got the phone? Or installed a different rom? etc.

USB BRICK in my INSPIRE 4G ( DESIRE HD)
Hi, all
I got a new inspire 4g last week.( equivalent to desire hd ). It was working fine. But now it does not detect the USB connection. It only charges when I connect to pc. No other issues. I have also noticed that during fast boot mode also pc does not recognize the phone as device. I have tried all the suggestion on xda but no luck.
As fastboot is also not detected by PC I could not format mtd0 and reconfigure it.
Can anybody have any other idea? If I change the main board how much cost will incur ??
Thanks all.

First of all.. you have HTC Sync installed right?
Happened to me initially as well.. although for me changing the cable and/or changing the USB port on the PC solved the issue. Have you tried these?
Also sometimes killing all apps on the device before connecting helped.
You can try accessing your device through ADB to see if its being detected.
And I really dont think you'll need to change the main board..

USB brick on my Inspire 4G
Thanks for your reply. When I go the phone ADB and Fastboot were working
well. There was no driver issue. Now even PC also does not detect the phone or any new hardware when I connect it to pc. I had working fastboot on both win7 and Linux (ubuntu) pc. Now in both OS the phone is not detectable. Windows device manager does not see any new hardware when I connect my inspire . dmesg also does not show my hardware when I connect my inspire to linux pc.
Please help or suggest me to investigate further. I know how to install and work with adb and fastboot as well as Clockwork recovery ( also ext recovery). Some people suggested to flash a new radio. I can flash the new radio via sdcard. But how safe is it ? My phone is S-off and made unbranded. Will flashing a new radio make my phone locked AT&T again? ????
Thanks a lot

As far as I know.. USB problem has no relation whatsoever to Radio. Radio is only concerned with the signal stuff. Flashing it isn't that risky if you follow the instructions... There's a thread in the development section about Radio's which explains it pretty nicely.
As for the USB problem, are you using a Custom ROM? Some ROMs like LeeDroid have USB detection problem which can be solved simply by flashing a different kernel like LordMod's.
What I meant by "Accessing through ADB" was if commands like "adb remount" or any adb command as such are working when your phone is connected to the PC? Or is it showing "error: device not found"?

[Q] USB Mount or Mass Storage not working on MT4G

The probem:
USB Mass Storage not working in Recovery. I tried everything, reflashing different recovery but its not working, it doesn't give an error message. When card is not inside however it does complain. SdCard is fine because I can flash zips that are on it. Tested on both windows and ubuntu. tried another card as well
USB Mount doesn't work in CM7.2 or any rom or nand restore i've done recently. I had Insomnia at some point, then inferno, then cm 7.1, none of these restores work. Again here no errors, I do not even see the sign for usb detection. usb debugging is enabled/disabled no difference. phone however still charges though.
I'm on a trip right now, but I've not had the chance yet to get another usb cable but the two I have dont work.

He has tried two cables, so I would tend to lean toward the port.

i am in the same boat. looks like my charging port is bad. anyway to replace the charging port? i am not good with soldering

it's not ur usb port
it's htc.. htc devices doesn't support usb host feature.
If you have a rom and kernal that do support usb host then try powering the usb as the htc devices do not provide power out.. use usb Y cable

What? He isn't trying to host the connection. He is trying to use his phone as a USB mass storage device.
Where did you get USB host from in his questions?

Hi all,
I am having the same problem, except perhaps with a different cause. My user account on Windows 7 became corrupt and I can no longer log in, so I had to create a new one.
On the new account, my myTouch 4G is not recognized for mass storage/disk drive mode via USB. The USB cable does work, the port is okay, and I've used both with other devices. The myTouch shows as charging when connected to the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the myTouch drivers, restarted computer and phone, to no avail.
When it is connected in USB, it shows as generic "Drive F" and is inaccessible. When I check properties it says mytouch4g. When I check "Devices" it is recognized as portable storage. I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and have set "connected to computer" mode to disk drive.
Any thoughts? I thought possibly loading the generic ADB driver again might help, but I cannot get to the stage where I can force it to load that driver instead of the HTC one.

USB not detected by PC

Dear friends,
Recently I damaged by USB port. So, I sent my phone for repairing at Samsung Servicing Centre where they replaced my USB port. After they replaced my USB port, my phone is not detected by PC anymore. Nothing happens at all if I connect my phone to a PC. There is no notification at all. My phone is only charging. I tried pulling up and down the tongue - like structure inside my USB port but it's of no use at all. I am at a delimma. Please help.

repairs are usually covered by warranty upon the same issue incase they were unable to fix it.
take it back to them and demand to resolve the issue,
you paid good money for the repair and therefore should be entitled to it

maybe u haven't installed samsung usb drivers

the same problem with mine., i just changed my usb chord after that i cannot connect to usb mass storage anymore even i installed usb driver still can't access storage

(2) reboot pc and also cp
(3) connect chord and wait till the pc auto installs the drivers
(4) press "ok" connect phone storage

The main problem is that it is not even detected by my PC as connected. There is no notification of the phone being connected at all both in PC and phone. Can this be due to the USB cable that I am using? Or is the new USB port incompatible with my phone? Will reflashing the Rom solve the problem? The Samsung Servicing Centre fellows have no solution at all. They simply said that it is a software problem because I am on a custom Rom and that my USB is blocked. I don't think USB port can get blocked because of flashing a custom Rom because it was working fine before the repair. Please please please help me.

this also happens to me sometimes and ive already given you my own solution to this
if your phone is charging when you connect to the pc..
it means the chord is maybe working..
try to tighten the usb chord connector to the usb socket of your pc..
are you sure you are using the right drivers?? kindly check or use the kies cd
be patient and wait for the phone drivers to be automatically installed by the pc when you connect the phone fr the 1st time..
try turning off you anti-virus.. (not related but....)

There are charge only cables that do not data connect. If it is trickle charging the phone that is the problem. But you say there is no indication of a connection; sorry I just kinda jumped in at random. Your post popped up in the new posts list.

Pen drives are working properly. I don't think its the cable because it is the original USB cable provided with the phone. I have tried with other USB cables but same result. Will flashing stock Rom really solve the problem? I can't flash stock Rom because I can't connect to Odin boy longer.
