[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] USB Mount or Mass Storage not working on MT4G

The probem:
USB Mass Storage not working in Recovery. I tried everything, reflashing different recovery but its not working, it doesn't give an error message. When card is not inside however it does complain. SdCard is fine because I can flash zips that are on it. Tested on both windows and ubuntu. tried another card as well
USB Mount doesn't work in CM7.2 or any rom or nand restore i've done recently. I had Insomnia at some point, then inferno, then cm 7.1, none of these restores work. Again here no errors, I do not even see the sign for usb detection. usb debugging is enabled/disabled no difference. phone however still charges though.
I'm on a trip right now, but I've not had the chance yet to get another usb cable but the two I have dont work.

Its either your USB cable or your phone USB jack mine does the same thing I have to wiggle it to get a good connection cuz my USB cable sucks cuz with others it recognizes it right away.

He has tried two cables, so I would tend to lean toward the port.

i am in the same boat. looks like my charging port is bad. anyway to replace the charging port? i am not good with soldering

it's not ur usb port
it's htc.. htc devices doesn't support usb host feature.
If you have a rom and kernal that do support usb host then try powering the usb as the htc devices do not provide power out.. use usb Y cable

What? He isn't trying to host the connection. He is trying to use his phone as a USB mass storage device.
Where did you get USB host from in his questions?

Hi all,
I am having the same problem, except perhaps with a different cause. My user account on Windows 7 became corrupt and I can no longer log in, so I had to create a new one.
On the new account, my myTouch 4G is not recognized for mass storage/disk drive mode via USB. The USB cable does work, the port is okay, and I've used both with other devices. The myTouch shows as charging when connected to the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the myTouch drivers, restarted computer and phone, to no avail.
When it is connected in USB, it shows as generic "Drive F" and is inaccessible. When I check properties it says mytouch4g. When I check "Devices" it is recognized as portable storage. I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and have set "connected to computer" mode to disk drive.
Any thoughts? I thought possibly loading the generic ADB driver again might help, but I cannot get to the stage where I can force it to load that driver instead of the HTC one.

Unable to flash anything with fastboot

Hello.
I recently installed the 4.3 ota update. I knew I would have to reroot. After the update I have tried everything I can think of to flash a new recovery or bootloader or anything. All without success. Fastboot simply says "Sending...", the phone says "downloading..." and that's the end of it. They would both sit in that state forever if I let them.
I know I'm not alone on this issue. I have searched and searched without finding a solution. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks.

1. Usb debugging enabled and bootloader unlocked?
2. Correct drivers installed, try these usb naked drivers for instance https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=...=RUlfH35SAJki_DdLfo8MeA&bvm=bv.51773540,d.Yms.
3. Used the original usb cable or tried another usb port?
4. If you type fastboot devices in fastboot mode do you see a serialnumber? The same for adb devices in adb mode?

USB debugging is enabled.
I've tried the original USB cable and others. I've tried different USB ports.
adb works fine. Fastboot recognizes my phone and prints a serial number. Fastboot even works for locking/unlocking the boot loader.
There are no "drivers" in the Linux world. Should I find someone who has a Windows system and ask to use their computer?
Thanks.

So. I solved the problem. I now feel like an idiot.
I plugged my phone into a Windows system and a nice notice popped up saying that my device could run faster if it was plugged into a USB 2.0 port. Then it dawned on me that only a few of the ports on my computer are 2.0 and that I had tried one of them previously but with an extension cable (because it's in the back and hard to reach). I unplugged the extension cable and plugged the USB cable directly into the port and all was well.
I hope that others who have had this issue find this useful.
Thank you for your help.

Do you have the usb drivers installed correctly? Or try another usb port/ cable.

IVE put the USB driver in the c drive along sid the KIES and still it says its (USB) not recognised. Is there something else i could use instead ,i didnt like kies anyway.I tried to get airdroid to work (ive had that for 3 years) but it doesnt handle software (my phone) 4.4.2 it only does 4.3. It says FORBIDEN.FAILED TO SEND MESSAGE on my PC.

Most likely you are using an outdated version of Kies. There are multiple versions of Kies, ensure that you install the latest version of Kies. Then open Kies and have it detect your phone. That is by far the easiest way to install the proper driver for your S5 model. After the driver is in place you can close Kies and never use it again. Or uninstall it if you wish.
Do not use an USB hub, connect directly to your phone. If you have ongoing issues, use a different USB cable and port. Ensure that you are using a data cable, not a charging (only) cable that has the data lines shorted. If your PC has USB driver issues in general, then you'll need to resolve those issues first or use a different PC.

KIES V3. The trouble is i cant find the USB i now it should be there in the notif panel but it is not, ive got developer options & usb debugging ticked but thats all, have i got to do anything else (hair pulling time) i dont think so?
1) Should i plug it in the mains or usb on the pc
2) Im using the cable that came with the S5 is that good enough.
3) The S5 sits on a cradle shall i take it of.
4) How do i tell data cable, not a charging (only) cable that has the data lines shorted
5) Ive tried 4 different USB software and it gives the message DEVICE DRIVER SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED every time
6) Ive done a reboot every time the drivers are put it

If you use Windows 8(.1) you have to disable driver signature verification to get the usb drivers installed. Here is a tut. https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorial...abling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8.

You are juggling too many unnecessary variables. Try to simply that and don't skip checking any of the points.
I have no idea what you mean by plug it in the mains? And at least until you solve this you should not be using a cradle, hub or anything else. As I suggested earlier, connect the phone directly to your computer USB hub. And if you have ongoing problems, try a different cable, USB port or even PC.
Making an assumption that the cable that came with the phone is good enough is counter productive. It's not impossible that it may be damaged or have some problem. Borrow or buy another cable, to eliminate one more possible cause of your issue.
Retrace and double check each step. As soon as you make an assumption that it's not worth checking x step because it couldn't possibly be the cause, you are skipping a possible solution. Make sure that you are using the latest Odin, make sure that you installed it from windows administrator mode, connect directly to the PC's USB port, different cable, etc. If you are methodical, you'll resolve the problem.
Good luck

If you haven't given AirDroid permissions to send SMS directly, "FORBIDEN.FAILED TO SEND MESSAGE" might appear. Change the permissions in phone's settings for a try

If you are using a Usb 3.0 port switch to a 2.0. If you are unsure a 3.0 port is usually blue on the inside.
