usb connection issue [help] - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my wife note 4 (sprint) is stock (6.0.1) and works great except for it will not connect via USB to my windows 10 PC. Device manager shows:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
A request for the USB device descriptor failed.
I would like to root in order to debloat but cannot connect to the PC in either download mode or just on.
I have tried installing Kies and drivers also I am using the original USB cable with no hubs.

Try another cable and another USB port.

It could be the on device micro usb socket. This type of socket is pathetically fragile and does have a high failure rate. I have seen this issue time after time...The older the device (and let's face it, the N4 isn't exactly the current flagship) the more often this port is the culprit.

USB device is not recognized error.

Hi all,
I'm experiencing the above problem. It started last week when I tried to reflash the firmware to a third party firmware. The unit could power up as normal, wifi, bluetooth all working fine but not the USB. I've tried installing a utility which switches the mode from RNDIS to USB but it still failed .. hard resetting the device does not help either. Is there a way that I could revive the USB connection? I couldn't sync my contact etc at the moment with my PC.
BTW, currently I'm on Onyx Jr. 4.1.2. I could not update to any firmware due to this and I don't have microSD to SD converter which I could use to copy the firmware to the microSD.
TA.
Disconnect sync cable. Reconnect to different usb port on computer. Right click ActiveSync in taskbar. Click connections. Make sure "Allow USB connections" is checked. If above fails, uninstall usb adapter in device manager, reboot computer. It'll reinstall with stock drivers after reboot.
It may happen due to faulty USB cable. Try and use another cable and on some other computer and check
I've tried all that I could think off including removing activesync and reinstalling it back. I've few miniUSB lying around and I've tested many of them but my notebook just did not want to recognized the htc touch. I've tried using those cables with my wife's tytnII and they worked .. could it be the hardware problem inside htc touch itself?
Tried with a new USB cable found in my newly bought GPS and if I reseat the cable properly, my notebook could recognised the htc touch. So I guess a new cable does help.. thanks all for the help.

[Q] Half-bricked phone (USB isn't working)

Hi all
my USB doesn't seem to work anymore. However I don't believe it is a HW failure.
In Linux, when I connect my I9000 to usb, I see the following in the syslog:
Oct 14 17:17:29 xsdnied kernel: [ 1222.601065] usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
Oct 14 17:17:29 xsdnied kernel: [ 1222.670996] hub 3-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
This happens both in "Download mode" and if I boot in OS and choose "Mass storage for USB", also in Debug Dev Mode ON.
Also in Windows Odin can't see the device via USB. Windows at least told me under certain condition that a new USB device detected but it failed to recognize it (albeit all needed drivers have been already installed)
The phone is working, but I can't even install CM7.1 on it because of signature verification error that seems to be unavoidable under <3e>.
Any idea how to fix this situation?
have u tried a different pc?

I've tried two. at least one of them was already working via usb with this I9000 both in windows and linux
Have you reinstalled the drivers, or tried another cable?

I've tried another cable. I connect/disconnect several times and once of 20 attempts Windows makes its usual USB-discovery sound, but then says something like: USB-device is either broken or device is not recognized.
Well, just took another SGS1 that we have in our family and tested -- both cables are 100% OK.
Hm, maybe USB is indeed broken and that's it :-/
But how? why? Charging after all works.
Got the same problem bro...
One contact broke on the USB port, bricked my Phone too. I wasnt able to use odin to flash my Phone. The crazy thing is that my phone was able to charge but no connection to the PC.
I sent the bricked phone to an thrid partner from samsung, they flashed my phone and repaired the USB port. No is everything okay.
I tried several things to get the USB to work, nothing helped.

[Q] Nexus 4 gone stealth

... and is no longer recognized when connected to a computer via USB, meaning I can't return to stock to get ready for the Lollipop OTA.
Got a rooted Nexus 4 running the latest PA beta.
What happens when connecting to PC:
- On two different Windows machines: systray popup saying "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned etc.". In device manager it says "Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)"
- On elementary OS, based on Ubuntu 12.04: nothing, besides charging.
No USB debugging connection notification on the Nexus 4 either when plugging in.
What I've tried (USB debugging enabled, all relevant drivers installed):
- Settings > Storage > USB computer connection > check Camera PTP (used to be required in order to get an RSA key prompt when connecting to a computer, now it does nothing)
- Flashing latest stable CM to see if PA was to blame. Made no difference.
- Uninstalling device through device manager in Windows and reconnecting. No effect. Driver update doesn't work either, finds nothing.
- Using Wugfresh's Nexus toolkit to see if that worked, but that obviously doesn't work either when the device isn't recognized, same with the Universal Nexus Linux Toolkit on Linux.
- Scouring the net for solutions and coming up with nothing
I have flashed factory images before on this phone without problems. Should I consider it a hardware failure by now, or is this a known issue with a fix?
Try a new wire, different usb port on computer, finally look into cleaning your charging port on the phone/replacing it.

Tried three different cables, every port on two laptops, no joy - my girlfriend's phone connects normally.
Wouldn't replace the charging port, then I'd just get a new phone since it's a 2 years old Nexus 4. If only there was a way to flash the factory image using only TWRP.

Flash this in twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47476426
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks jd1639, that seemed to be exactly what I was looking for -
- but then I had an extremely blonde moment and formatted everything in TWRP, wiping the ROM I was gonna flash in the process, on a device where USB file transfer doesn't work anymore
My phone is now a paper weight.
Have you tried the file manager in twrp yet? I've found it connects when nothing else will...

Look for Samsung usb driver, it will open a Samsung Dev website, download and install the drivers. Of it's not working either, try on another USB port, another computer, another cable, another phone with the same steps above, of it's not recognizing it on all computers, it's a faulty USB port, it may charge but no data transfer.

Zenfone 5 t00j charging, but is not recognized by the computer

Hi all, I have bought a second hand t00j however it seems that when i connect it to the computer via usb, it is not listed anywhere, but it is still charging. I tried different USB ports. I have tried with one windows and one linux computer. The phone is in MTP mode, I have the latest intel drivers. It is not showing up in the devices tab on windows. I tried enabling usb debugging. I opened the phone to make sure the connector ribbons between the usb board, the sim card and the mombo are connected properly. Please help.
