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

Change Usb port if didnt help change the cable if this too wont help change usb socket

if the phone says its still charging once you remove the usb cable the most common cause iv seen is dirt in the phones usb socket - clean it out with an object - you can also use cleaning solution but make sure the battery is removed and the socket is fully dry before you attempt to turn it back on

connectivity issue

hello
i have a problem with my g928f
my issue is that it can not be regognized by the windows
i have tried at my desktop with win 10 and at my laptop with windows 7 and at both says unknown device,
i have tried everything i know of
unistall everything from the pc regarding samsung drivers
install it again , nothing
install smart switch , nothing
install kies, nothing
run odin , not even see the phone at download mode
made factory reset from recovery , nothing
charge is working just fine both from pc and my wall charger
i tried mhl hdmi and nothing happened
tried just now otg cable with a usb drive , again nothing
just a week ago i was using it just fine with my pc
should i take it to a store to check my micro usb port??

noone??
today i replaced the screen with a new one witch had a new usb dock on it and the problem is still here
i can not connect it to any pc.
i cann't flash the stock rom because odin is not see it also

is it possible to be a rom problem????
i can't flash the stock one because of the usb issue
but i think i can download another lollipop rom to give it a try.

Have you made sure that it is set as MTP?
Setting - Storage - USB.

Check if the device gets connected in Fastboot mode. If it doesn't then it would be your USB.

sideload is not working either
usb is brand new and original.

is there a way to flash stock rom via recovery?

[HELP] USB-MTP no longer working on S4 i9505 but ODIN 3.09 works fine

Hi guys !
I'm having a strange issue with my S4 i9505. It was running lollipop 5.0.1 Imperium Rom V5.0 (XXUHOD7) and it stopped prompting for MTP-USB notification in notification panel. When i connect the phone, it says me it is charging. I'm using windows 8.1 pro x64 + Genuine Samsung USB cable (which came with the phone) between my S4 and the PC.
Then i tried dialing *#0808# in phone app and choose MTP+ADB in USB connection option when the phone was connected to the computer. Nothing happened even if i tried other USB modes (like MTP, Rndis, PTP...). USB internet sharing didn't work either. Changing USB cables and USB ports on the pc didn't change anything either
So i did a factory reset under Philz CWM recovery and flashed an updated version of Imperium Rom v14.0.
USB-MTP was still not working even with *#0808# trick.
So i decided to install Samsung drivers and try a complete stock flash with XXUHOF2 Firmware from Sammobile.com with ODIN v3.09. When the phone was into Download Mode, I connected it via USB and it showed up on ODIN with no problem and then I flashed XXUHOF2 Stock firmware with no errors and no problems at all. The phone rebooted normally and the PASS message appeard in ODIN after ~10 mins.
But the problem still remains, even if flashing a full up to date stock rom with Modem/BL/System + factory reset. The phone still doesn't show into windows as MTP device even with *#0808#.
So i'm wondering if my USB connector is faulty ? Is it possible to be able to flash through ODIN with no problem and not being able to have MTP USB connection ?
I think ODIN flashes phones using Data +/- pins on the USB connector just as MTP do, so they might be good on my S4. May i be wrong ? Is it possible there is an electronic chip behind USB connector of my phone which is misbehaving preventing MTP to work but allowing ODIN to work ?
Do you guys have an explanation of this and do you think replacing USB connector of my S4 would solve the problem ?
I hope my explanations are good and you can help me

Try disabling and enabling USB debugging while the phone is connected.

I have the exact same probleme... Odin work but no mtp....Have you found a solution ?

Accessing Stock recovery after OneUI 3.0 Update (Solution)

Hello All,
There seems to be a bug in OneUi 3.0 that prevents you from accessing the recovery menu through the usual way, Power Button + Vol Up.
Here is the solution:
1. Turn Off your phone
2. Wait 5 Seconds
3.Plug in your earphones to the Usb-c Port
4. Press Power Button + Vol Up .
There you go!
As an alternative to step 3 you can try using your charging cable, connected to your PC.
Good Luck

I plug USB memory stick in. USB A to USB C adapter we got in the package also works

You have to have either the headphones plugged in, or the usb cable plugged into the PC to access recovery and also download mode i think.

We knew this since beta 2 or 3..

It doesn't even work for me when I plug the PC USB cable in. How the hell do I get into recovery now?
