Hi, I am posting here because I'm having a very annoying issue with my Galaxy S4
When trying to connect it to the PC via USB, nothing happens, it does start charging, but I can't transfer files (or flash through Odin for example)
It did work untill 2 days ago, I rooted it, it kept working, then it suddenly stopped
I have now tried many solutions, wich are:
Hard Reset in both ways
Reinstalling Drivers on PC
Trying different USB ports
Trying different PC's
Trying different cables
Wiping and reinstalling ALL USB Drivers on PC
Formatting my PC (Windows 7 x64)
USB Debugging both activated and deactivated
I have also tried to access *#7284#, but the "Qualcomm USB Setting" option is missing, could that be the issue?
If so, how can I restore it?
(I have tried changing it to Official status while keeping the root to update it to the last version, but it was already at the last version)
My device is currently Rooted
Device info:
Model number: GT-I9505
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9505XXUAMDM
Kernel version: 3.4.0-431985
se:[email protected] #1
Build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDE
Status: Custom
Please help me, I'm truly desperate
I think the easiest option is to try another PC just to eliminate the PC. I know you have done the format/reinstall but it's worth eliminating it.
I've had a right headache trying to update the firmware on mine and while my W8 laptop won't do it (Kies won't even show current firmware), my work W7 got a step further but still did not do it. It was only once I got into work did it work.
It could be something as sinister as the Windows firewall blocking it so check this - W7 will automatically enable it ...if you have another one installed on top, it could be that blocking it

Dude, this will sound stupid but I am on XP and my S4 connected fine with a friends Windows 7 box but my PC did exactly what you are saying.
I searched and tried installing Kies and USB drivers etc ... but nothing worked.
After hours of searching the internet I found the answer here on XDA (as always)
The answer which worked for me was......
HERE's THE SOLUTION:
1. Go to the Registry Editor (Start --> Run --> "regedit" --> [ENTER])
2. Search the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\
3. If you click one of the few subkeys in class (e.g. {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}) you'll find the string value (Standard) on the right side with a value (e.g. DVD/CD-ROM-Drives)
4. You have to find the value "Portable Devices" on the string value (Standard) (In my case {EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}, but I don't know if they are called always the same.
5. Once found, you see a string value called UpperFilters --> DELETE IT!
6. Finished! Now your Samsung Mobile MTP Device should be recognized and even installed correctly right away. (The name of the device changed to GT-I9100 (Devicemanager) in my case...)

Damn. sorry. guess its XP only.
Ok.. Have you got Allow USB debugging set on in Developer options?
Activate Developer options:
Open Settings on your Android phone or tablet.
Scroll down to About and tap it.
Now tap Build number seven times.
After tapping the Build Number 7 times, you will see a message “You are now a developer!” If you have a Galaxy S4 or any other Samsung Galaxy device with Android 4.2, the message reads as follows- “Developer mode has been enabled”.
Return to the main Settings menu and now you’ll be able to see Developer Options.

if so ... try this: (posted by rohan999)
So here is the cure. First connect your phone to your pc. Now right click my computer and select manage. Go to device manager and expand the universal serial bus controllers tab. Now you should see something like unknown device with a yellow exclamation mark. Right click it and select uninstall. Now reconnect your phone and try it.
Now again check in device manager after installation. It should look like the one in the attachment.

So,i have a galaxy s GT-i9000T and it seems there is no way of updating it! i can only put it on download mode trough ADB(dont know if that has to do with anything,just pointing it out since a lot of people cant use 3 button combo) and ive installed samsung drivers,kies,android sdk,java sdk and when i connect the phone to my pc in download mode it displays ''unrecognized device'' odin doesnt detect it and kies gets stuck at 0% while in download mode im supposing neither of my <<two different computers with 3 usb ports each>> seem to recognize it im on echlair 2.1 update 1 and i am very frustrated.
any help is apreciated!
PS:sorry for long post!1!!!
Check your drivers mate.
Sounds like a driver issue. Unless your phone's USB port or something is broken.
uninstalled kies and installed HTC and samsung driver for mobile phones and still no luck,i can transfer data/files from my phone to my computer so i dont think the usb is the problem :/

First try a normal installation of this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
(pick the one for your OS, 32bit or 64bit - I don't know which one you got )
If that fails too, go into device manager, find the "unrecognized device", right click on it and click "Update driver software.." or something like that.
Then choose that you have driver files for this device and point to the folder where you extracted the package and let it search for the proper file.
i already had it installed...no luck! FML ):

Well, I don't know..
Can't think of anything else without actually seeing what's going on..
Maybe I could try helping you using some remote administration software, like teamviewer, but that requires that you trust me so.. ehh.
I also read on another topic that this could also be some usb malfunction (hardware issue).
Plus you said you used 2 PC's and many USB ports so.. don't know.
odin recognizes my phone while on with usb debugging on...
so it has to be drivers issue.
but I can't really help without seeing.
try playing around with the manual way again, pick some other options etc.
i'm off to bed. good luck

PC cant recognize
I have been struggling with this issue as well.
Simple solution i found (and after reading about million posts on web as well)... ORIGINAL CABLE seems to solve the issue. I saw it posted even on one Korean forum. Seems simple enough, use original data cable that came with phone and that seems to be it. wierd
Totally agreeing with PP
PP is correct in suggesting the original data cable being used.
I had the same issue, the pc would not recognize the phone. The fix for me was to connect to the usb ports on the back of my pc. They were the only ones that let the phone connect to zune.

Btw, for these issues with USB only working on the back of the comp the culprit is either the motherboard (drivers or other) or the PSU (not enough power).
Enderpsp could be right.... Mine was the USB port, I had to plug it in a different port and it started working... Just keep trying, make sure you don't have any USB options about power management in your computer's bios

Ok so here's the thing. This morning when I woke up I dropped my phone on the floor and the battery flew out.Initially I thought it was nothing but later it started rebooting without any good reason. I tried restarting, it would stay on for a bit then it would go down again. I am(was) running CyanogenMod 7 on a Samsung Galaxy SI. I want to reflash it with Odin as it won't start anymore.At first it would just boot loop but now it won't even get past the first logo. The tricky part is that my PC won't recognize it , all I get is Unknown Device code 43 yada yada BS! I tried alot of drivers, I tried the have disk method with the usb driver from SDK Tools , nothing worked ! Please, give me some suggestions about what I should try more because honestly this is beyond my expertise in this domain.

code 43, has more to do with Hardware, its about your cable and PC ...so check cable, try switch to another USB port
Microsoft engineers answer
I suggest that you connect the Controller to a different USB port and check if you have the same issue.
If this does not work, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the USB controller.
To remove and reinstall all USB controllers, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type Device manager and open device manager.
2. Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
3. Restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB controllers.
Disable and enable the USB device:
1. Click on start and type devmgmt.msc.
2. Right click on the caution sign on the USB.
3. Select disable and reboot the computer.
4. Enable the device after reboot.
Also make sure that you download and install the latest version of Software for this. Here is a link you can follow to download the Software:

try and borrow another original samsung USB cable to test first, this is a major culprit, as numerous people including myself have experienced
what happens is one of the pins on the micro usb plug of rolls in and gets broken , also check your USB slot a good cleaning with a brush and alcohol would be good fro the connection ( do it when you have removed battery)
Got another USB cable still nothing... It's very weird, it's like nothing I heard off or read on the forums... Is there any method of connecting to the mobile using SDK manager ? I'm not really familiar to working with the SDK manager.

was your cable an original samsung cable, IF not, many common cable do not work, due to pin configurations
For ADB, you still need connection with USB cable
Here's another thing I could try. If I go to Device Manager - Right Click on Unknown Device - Update Driver Software - Browse I can choose from a list of Samsung Drivers... The question is , which one do I have to choose for my Galaxy S ? Maybe it will work like this

that was the solution given in my first post, have you not tried them all yet? samsung drivers were also attached on it and what PC software do you use XP or ?
In that link it requires your phone to be working and able to go in USB mass storage mode or debugging mode ... My phone can only stay in download mode . I use windows 7 x64 version .

for win 7 . download this driver http://www.4shared.com/zip/0LQRmsMm/usb_driver.html and give it a go, if the other failed
Tried everything from your guide...even from the microsoft sites...Still can't get my device to be recognized...If I use the Usb driver you sent it won't let me use them even if I manually choose it for my device. Don't really know what to do more honestly other than throw it away and get another phone

There are two possible issue at play here, one your pc drivers are incorrect or two the phone has an issue (1 is much more likely).
1) Uninstall Kies, reboot the pc, reinstall kies and disconnect from the internet then plug your phone in.
see if that works, if not you may need to manually point to the correct drivers
2) Odin flash your existing rom back using the "update bootloader" issue, this will repair any slight niggles on the phone side.
Tried option 1 and still nothing, Kies keeps crashing and the phone will still not connect.
How do I manualy select the right driver???
I don't really want to try option 2. I only have the phone 2 weeks and I'm very happy with it as it is. I don't want to go modding it like my last phone.
I have this issue too.
You are not alone...Lot of users have this issue!
I cant really find what cause it, but you can read some threads here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828016
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844400

I always for now unistall/install drivers again.But after 2-3 times of properly connections the issue is back.

Option 2 is not strictly speaking modding, all you will be doing is flashing the stock rom (the rom you already have on your phone) back over itself, you will not be rooting or customising everything, the rom will still be "official" and not "modified".
As for the drivers, I assume your using windows? if so:
Press Start
Right click on "computer"
Manage devices
find the item that has the "!" error sign and right click update driver
point it to the kies installation folder.
hope for the best.

Done the above and it tell's me that I'm using the most up to date drivers.
ok new idea (but will only be a temp fix)
When you plug the phone in it should have a notification saying connected to media device.
Click that, change from MTP to PTP and back again. and see if that helps.
Just found this worked for me.
******* Posted by Ditto
Yeah that whole "Hardware ID missing" was an irritating situation. This is what I recommend as far as making it work.
1. Plug in.
2. When you get the error message, I think its because of a conflict with the ADB interface. Go to Settings, Developer Options, and check off USB Debugging.
3. Plug in once again and it should work. If not, try toggling between Camera and MTP.

All i want to do is see my phone in MyComputer then I can access the files no problem.
Back on Media device (mtp) and it looked like it installed drivers and then the folder Computer/GT-I9300 opened so happy days.
So I plug my stock unrooted but unlocked, stock recovery 4.3 nexus into my windows 7x64 PC or windows7x86 laptop and it doesn't get recognized at all. The computer doesn't know it's there... I tried debugging mode but didn't work either, I just removed the abd drivers to make sure it wasn't their fault but no effect.
Sometimes the computer sees something unknown but doesn't want to install drivers to it. I think it's a hardware defect, the cable is confirmed working fine, charging also works fine but the phone does nothing in the pc. Yesterday it sort of worked, bad, but it did get recognized after trying ten times, now nothing at all.
Please can anyone tell me what is going on??? I need to install custom recovery to reset the phone but I can't get any files on it.
at the moment my laptop sees something, but nothing more than unknown, as shown in the image attatched

Enable USB debbuging in your phone. Go to Settings -> about phone -> tap about 10 times on build number item until USB debbuging is unlocked.
Also, on your computer go to the device manager, look for your phone, if you find it, right click on it, then update Driver Software, browse computer, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, USB composite device
That should do it.

The windows plug in plug out sound is now sounding about every 10 seconds, in out in out, could it be the phone has a broken connection? the micro usb? still nothing just unrecognized, mass storage is ticked, but doesn't make difference whatsoever, disabling developer options doesn't help either. computer keeps saying it already has the latest drivers.
I recently flashed all the new stuff I downloaded at the official google site where you downlaod the latest 4.3, I flashed using nexus 4 toolkit the files as shown in the second image. I think this might have broke it, but that would be very unfortunate because there would be no way to ever flash different recovery or install another rom/kernel, or is there?
Also, phone doesn't get recognized in fastboot or adb, but it did before
and now the phone gets recognized as normally would, nothing changed, what the ...?
sorry for wasting your time, I figured out my nexus has a broken connection, it's still usable though when I do it right.
I guess I have the same problem. I also replaced the USB flex, but the problem persists. How can you connect it properly to the computer?
Thanks

Well my Nexus 4 is hardware broken but I can still charge it fine, its just the computer connection that barely works, today I was lucky enough to be able to flash custom recovery to it while holding the phone sideways, it worked just for the moment, not anymore rightnow. I guess I'm kinda screwed and you might be too....
This isn't covered by warranty is it? I think I have water damage which isn't covered I know for sure, I just can't tell if it was the water that did the damage.
Are you guys sure it's a problem with your cable/phone plug and not your USB socket or internal hub? Have you tried different sockets?

I have the exact same problem and my phone is barely 3 months old.. and i have tried everything. The problem is, i have installed a custom recovery, and i have to install stock to get the updates, i don't know what can i do.

OK, try installing a different ROM like cyanogenmod 10 and then see if the computer connection works again
