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.

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 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...

Drivers for Unlockk and Root

I've gotten a new nexus 7 in the mail today and the first thing that I tried to do was unlock the bootloader and root the device to flash custom kernel and ROM. but i ran into a problem in the first step. Im having no luck with the drivers at all. i have searched and tried everything. I have tried this 1.5.2 toolkit and watched the video. In the section that i have to go to device manager and manually install the drivers, i didnt get anything. i downloaded the driver from asus themselves and it worked (pictured below) but when i try to use adb commands, nothing happens. I also installed the 64 bit drivers and it gives me the same thing as the picture and when i run the toolkit, it doesnt find adb. Can anyone help out please? and yes, i have enabled usb debugging, just in case you wonder.

What OS are you using?
When you plug the Nexus in the USB port does anything happen?
Have you rebooted the workstation?

4.1.1 jellybean. I've rebooted several times. When I plug it into the computer, my computer makes the regular "New device" sound and then it searches for the nexus driver but cannot find it. The tablet shows debugging connected.

You have a workstation with JellyBean on it? I'm guessing it is a Win box perhaps right? Have you rebooted it?

I just unlocked and rooted today. I downloaded and installed the drivers from the PDAnet website. Everything worked fine. Hope this Info helps you get you unlocked and rooted

Yeah, just download the driver package you need for your laptop and install them. The .exe is more like a setup/installation wizard for the drivers.

I've never installed Kies in my life, so I can't comment on it's functionality. nor am I stock...but before I rooted and started flashing, my Rogers S4 was stock.
I used the AT&T drivers to get it to connect in debug or MTP mode. Maybe they will help. You can find them HERE. click downloads or see all downloads and then EXE on the right for the USB Drivers...

still no luck

well I know those drivers work for fact. My Rogers S4 was running VLUAMDJ software...my computer installed some drivers but it didn't work...it never showed up. just like your symptoms. I uninstalled my existing Samsung drivers (which I downloaded when I got my Note 2)...reboot...install those drivers I linked you to, connected phone...detected right away and MTP started working as expected.
so you either have issues with your system (software wise), or it's a faulty cable. I'm going to lean towards the latter first. It's not the first time I've seen that. feel free to try another cable...also if you want...plug your phone in and take a shot of dev mgr and paste it so I can review...or PM me the pic if you prefer....

I thought kies had a troubleshooting mode. Have you tried that? It is referenced I the noob rooting video.

Here is pic for my dev mngr, I tried 3 usb cable, kies troubleshooting but still not showing up, when I plug my phone kies start-up but does phone does not show up in computer or kies.
Thanks for all reply, I can't send phone to Samsung for repair either because I bought from kijiji and Samsung warranty is not transferable

sorry forgot about the thread, my apologies. I haven't been using tapatalk as much recently, and that's where I used to check my participated threads.
I don't have those devices under ports if I have usb debugging on or off...weird. I'm on win8 x64...the only thing I didn't expand was Portable devices...I only have the two references in my dev mgr....
can you try uninstalling all the detected devices in dev mgr, and delete the driver from the system when doing so? then disconnect the phone, reboot, install those at&t drivers, then plug the phone in and test?
I want to recommend removing Kies before all of that, but not sure if you used it in the past, where it store the backed up data, etc..if you've never used it then please do uninstall Kies before what I mention above...
let me know.

I've installed those drivers on 3 different windows 7 systems this week and not one has failed to recognize MTP on the device first try...I even soft bricked my device a couple days ago, odin'ed back to VLUAMDJ stock, installed drivers on a win8 system that had never had an Android device plugged into it and wasn't connected to the internet (just installed those at&t drivers from a usb drive)...guess what...worked again..
It shouldn't work so easily for soo many people then not at all for you. I'm baffled at how easily it works for me even, and I've been trying to make it not work. I"m a technician I enjoy trying to break things to see if I can duplicate an issue, and fix it....and I can't duplicate your issue.
either something to with your USB port(s), or drivers (either mobo chipset or usb), or windows installation. if you have usb that are controller by a chipset like Intel then other USB that are another chipset, try on the other "bank" so to speak...you'd have ot know how to look for that if you had it though...or try it on someone elses computer with those at&t drivers. don't connect the phone until you install the drivers.
if it's not usb port(s), drivers, or the windows installation you either have 3 bad micro USB or you have a faulty USB port on your phone. or pocket lint preventing a proper connection (although I've assumed you've looked for that already)...those are the only things left.

Still no luck

[Help] USB don't works + no root + no recovery...

Hi,
Since some ... weeks, maybe months, my Nexus 4 usb don't works. (I found "Airdroid" app to transfer files over my WiFi but... the problem is somewhere else...)
Only the battery charging works with the usb. I can't use MTP transfer file or ADB !!!
I tried to check/uncheck the MTP option, check/uncheck the option for USB debug mode, tried on other computers/systems, with different usb cable... nothing worked.
The problem is that i flashed a 4.4 ROM (with no SuperSU, so no root...), and i don't know why: I lost my cwm recovery... So now, i can't root/flash a new recovery or ROM because i can't use ADB via the fastboot mode too. :crying::crying:
I tried a lot of things, made a lot of searches all over the web, with no success :/ I hope my usb isn't physically dead ? (have to buy this ?)
What can i do ? Any idea ?
I don't want to stay blocked with this ROM/kernel/radio with no root for ever please !
O/S tested: Windows 8 and 8.1 Pro 64bits; Ubuntu 13.10; Mac OS X 10.6;
Android Version installed: 4.4 build aosp_mako-userdebug 4.4 KRT16M
Baseband: PA radio (.84)
Kernel: PA stock for 4.4
=> But the problem is the same with all ROMs

Same here idk what else to do :/

Up :fingers-crossed:

With Windows 8 reboot the system into advance mode and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature checking, then go to device manager and uninstall any existing ABB driver checking the checkbox to delete the drive files.
Then reinstall it with Universal Naked Driver (link in sig).
For Ubuntu, follow step 1 and 2 from here: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/245-ubuntu-precise-install-android-sdk
