Hallo, this is my first post in such amazing forum. I have a Samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9500 with the below specification
android 4.3
kernel 3.4.5-1875800 [email protected] #1 mon Oct 14 17:56:57 KST 2013
build number : jss15j.i9500xxuemj5
USB port is not working when connecting to pc but it charging well . Which made it a special case.
All what I want to achieve is rooting my device then upgrade it or use a custom rom. Since usb port is not working, it gave me hard time.
what I have did :
1 trying to fix usb port I have used every method ( changing usb cable original one , *#0808# mpt , Samsung drivers , kies 3 , USB Debugging Mode is enabled.)
2 – trying to root without pc tried (TowelRoot keep getting “Phone Isn't Supported" changing code and older version not solving my problem . Besides TowelRoot, I used some chines
apps but not getting anywhere.
so please help me root my device
thanks in advance

yes I am consider that as last solution , but before that I will try to install new rom perhaps the 4.3 causing the problem

It's 100% rom unrelated. It's your usb port that is malfuntioning. Try to clean it.
Your pc doesn't detect anything when you connect your phone in download mode?

MY COMPUTER ZONE... I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING FROM REINSTALLING THE DEVICE'S USB DRIVERS ND GETTING IT COMPLETELY REFRESHED..
BUT I HAVE FAILED... THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS ALTERING THE DEVICE'S SETTINGS IN DEVICE MANAGER. BUT THAT WORKS ONLY ONE TIME. I HAD TO RECONNECT THE DEVICE AND DO THESE SAME STEPS TO GET IT WORK AGAIN

Do you have USB debugging enabled? You are also in the wrong thread if you have the I9500 this is a Sprint S4 thread.

Along with checking your USB debugging setting, you may want to consider uninstalling/reinstalling drivers.
and your specific device over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2164 maybe someone else has had the same issue...

Not sure, but they certainly have the CAPS lock enabled... :crying:
I would do the same to make sure USB debugging is enabled. If non of this works I would unroot the phone and take it to sprint .

Hi i have a GT-i9500 that recently has started acting really weird, the symptoms are.
Computer does not detect the phone, not even as an unrecognized device. It doesn't matter if its on, recovery or download mode.
After it goes to low Battery mode it won't charge with any 2.0 or 2.1 Amp Charger (tried car, iPad and Samsung original). It just charges with 0.5 amp charger (Huawei G510) or connected to a USB 2.0 port.
I have seen issues where the phone display a warning in the screen when charging with the power off, this is not the case, there are no warnings, the device works perfectly normal if you leave out the usb charging and syncing issue, battery lasts as it always has, no overheating, etc.
Changing charger or cord gives the exact same result
The issue was noticed after updating to 4.3 I9500UBUEMJ8
Developer options are enabled, so is USB Debugging
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Check the huawei charger and it is not charging either, it just works with the laptop USB, any ideas?

Yes but that doesn't solve the problem of the phone not being detected by the PC so i can't use odin or KIES so firmware changing is hardly an option unless i use something like mobile odin

Well. I think u are wrong but anyway the firmware u are using uses Kies 3 (android 4.3). Try to install Kies 3 and the drivers again. How u updated ur phone to MJ8 if u couldnt use Kies?

I used Odin, I had no problem until then but 2 weeks ago it started acting up. I read around and found that some people have been having charging issues after 4.3 tought it doesn't look like a widespread issue.

the problem is that the pc won't detect the phone, ther is no driver install, no device o device managment, no drive mounting, etc. so obiously kies 2 o 3 won't detect the phone

Dear All
Hey how are you guys? Almost a month user of this amazing android device note 3 LTE version in UAE.
Now I have updated this device via OTA, not thru Kies and now I am on kitkat 4.4.2
Not rooted and everything is on stock, don't want to trip on Knox
I got 1 minor glicth I am experiencing each and every time I boot and reboot my note 3 LTE version
it tells me that;
"Error Initializing USB"
What does this mean? I tried to transfer data back and forth to my PCs Laptops but USB functionality seems ok,
I am just afraid maybe this is hardware problem?
Can someone please Enlighten me on this minor issue?
Rgards,
Jes
Uhm anyone can help a brother out?
It is not really a big problem but until this time of writing, message still appears
"error intializing USB"
freaks me out knowing my phone is all stock ROM with paid apps...

Not aware of any problems caused by this.

It's best to update your firmware again with Odin.
Afraid to use ODIN

but nowadays I am afraid to use ODIN as it might trip my KNOX, I still want my warranty at this point..
I have had all my times before in modding and flashing roms from galaxy s1 until my nexus 4 but I don't have the time and courage anymore...

My Knox bit has been set for over six months. I have no fear of using Odin.
I have reflashed with Odin 3.09
It didn't fix the problem.
Having said this, other than the error message I haven't had any issues relating to connection to pc via usb including usb 3 mode
Or connection via usb otg to usb dac.

Well how are you guys doing? Couple of weeks back I installed some Samsung OTA updates and so far that error prompt in every restart and start up made by the Note 3 is gone now!!
Furthermore, we are now able to root even with the latest stock firmware thru towelroot by none other than the greatest mr. geohot!
Donate to him and give homage!
Root and defeat Samsung KNOX!!!
