Hi folks, I seem to be having a few problems with my Magic handset and after reading through all the threads and trying to install things on my laptop, I am now even more confused than when I first started!
The thing that started everything off was my auto rotate stopped working for no apparent reason. I hadn't installed any new apps or done anything to make it stop working. I tried a soft reset with no avail, and then did a full factory reset and still no auto rotate (even though it is ticked in settings).
Also I can't seem to connect the handset to my pc..... I have tried HTC sync, WMDC, and downloaded and installed the sdk thingy but it still won't connect, I am running Windows 7. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to install a new rom, get the pc to recognise the handset, and hopefully fix the auto rotate problem? (kinda hoping that the new rom will fix auto rotate)
I can access the sdcard when mounted in the phone so I can't understand why it wont connect to the phone.
I have usb debugging enabled etc, I have read that much I just dont get it anymore! I even thought of contacting Vodafone to see if they can do an update over the air, but don't know where to start. This is my 3rd HTC device but my first Android based one.
Is there anyone local to me that could help in anyway?
As you can probably tell I'm getting desperate now lol
Many thanks in advance

Does the phone show up at all when you plug it in? Does the charging LED come on? If the answer to these questions is no, I'd try another cable, USB port or computer and if that fails I'd send it in for repairs.

Hi, thanks for the reply. When the phone is connected to the PC, it charges up, lights up and i can access the SDcard in the phone, but i cannot get HTC sync to find it and the sdk program i downloaded just confuses me. I am having problems installing the correct drivers for htc sync and sdk, everytime i try to update the driver, Windows7 tells me I already have the most up to date driver installed and wont let me change it to the one that is recommended in the guide!
I am currently uninstalling everything and starting over, Just about to re-install sdk and try to get the right drivers installed.
From what I have read so far, the accelerometer problem is likely to be a fault with the software and re-installing the rom might fix it, sounds easy on paper but in reality is proving difficult (very) I'll give it one more go and if that doesn't work then sod it, its back to windows mobile based devices for me!
update**
I have managed to get the serial number etc using the cmd prompt & sdk, followed the instructions on how to make a goldcard and copied the files required onto it.
in the guide it tells me to copy certain files into the root of the goldcard, is the root section just the bit you see when you open the card?
the reason i ask is that when i have inserted the goldcard back into the handset and powered up using vol - & pwr, hboot does not find the files, i just get a load of green writing saying file not found. what am i doing wrong?
Hello all,
I have a Samsung galaxy S II purchased in Israel from Cellcom.
In my ill advised attempt to unbrand, and thus accelerate, improve memory and battery consumption, I flashed a stock ROM which I believed to be the latest.
The phone works great, with one exception. There seems to be no way to connect it to PC, be it WIN7 32bit or ubuntu 32bit. original usb cable or other cable, my stationary workstation or my laptop, be it USB Storage mode, USB Debugging, that stupid Kies mode, and most importantly because i'd like to flush it back, no Odin Mode. (in win32 - any mode gets "unknown device" status like the device doesn't publish it's name correctly or similar.)
moments before the flash the phone connected in all modes.
I think i've pretty much covered all of the obvious. and there is no problem with my latest sdk and drivers as my Nexus S still connects to both PC's with great success.
SO some info - and what I have already researched.
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928, I gather that the PDA on my Cellcome bought SGS2 is either JIKG3 or JIKJ1. and that it's a GT19100T and I gather that denotes some kind of hardware specification.
the ROM I've flushed to my phone has this name:
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.tar.md5
everything seems wrong about this ROM in hindsight but, the worst is that it has no T, and probably isn't very hardware compatible. (though the telephony, wifi, camera, sensors and anything I tried works).
The phone is not rooted as after flushing I have lost any USB connectivity. I therefore cannot try and manipulate system files, to try to recover that way.
I have tried to root with the exploit apk. to no effect. I gather it's a statistically challenged way of rooting so I'll try my luck a lot more during the wait for your answer, and report any success.

the "Easy Rooting Toolkit" on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
I'll try to run it as best I can, with the shell emulator, instead of on adb, but with debugging enabled.. although it's not a very East Toolkit, when I use it this way..
I'll still report any progress..
**/Edited**
I have seen no one on the internet with this problem. it's really a very stupid problem to have. but a problem nevertheless.
Any insight as to the moves I can try next will be greatly appreciated.
Any information I can add with my limited usb connectivity will be gladly shared. (my "Kies air" works so I can upload to storage that way.. plus i have a shell emulator installed..)

In ur Device Manager dose it show several unknown devices when connected?

just the single one.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ROM itself as I have been using it on my phone for a couple weeks now.
The problem exists between your phone and your PC, the PC is stating that it's an unknown device after all.
What I would try is to un-install the device in Device Manager, unplug the device and restart the PC and then plug the phone in again, if that does not work, I would throw in a factory reset of the device itself while repeating the above steps
I think i've pretty much covered all of the obvious. and there is no problem with my latest sdk and drivers as my Nexus S still connects to both PC's with great success.

What do you mean by that? The nexus drivers have nothing to do with the galaxy drivers. Only if you run an AOSP rom you will need those drivers. Not if you run a stock rom.
Am I right that your pc sees the phone, but does not recognize it? Did you try reinstalling kies? And then from within kies tried to reinstall the phone drivers?
your PC may not recognize the device after the radio or kernel is changed. what I did was uninstall every single usb device from device manager and reboot, fixed.

jamesyb0i - I saw that some people have been successful after uninstalling all usb devices, I'm challenged in this task as my keyboard and mouse are USB. I will try it on my laptop as soon as I'll get access to it, though because of the wide range of computer and OS I've tried I'm pretty sure the effort will be ultimately futile.

Lennyz1988 - I see your point about the ADB Driver for the Nexus S, but as for the other advice.
As I said, I extensively tried to run it on multiple PC's multiple OS's.
I did try to uninstall / reinstall kies, and kies drivers.
after that didn't help. I got an SGS2 from a friend, just to try it on my computer.
it worked just fine.

The problem I believe is specifically because of the GTI9100/GTI19100T differences
I'm sure as achillies400 said that there is nothing wrong with the ROM itself. BUT the problem is not with my PC's it is more likely the different hardware, and the hardware driver on the phone itself that makes my phone become an "unknown device".

You could try this exploit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
Don't know if it will work for you but it's worth a try.
Extract the .zip to /data/local/ on your phone and run the commands.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same problem, and I couldn't find anyone else w/ it or with answers either.
almost all the same scenario except I have an SGSII AT&T I777 that started out as UCKJ1 and is now UCKH7
My phone started coming up as unknown device. I can not find any remedy to the solution.
Here's my scenario: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372171
My guess is I might try to uninstall "new" programs that I added to the phone and PC, uninstall kies etc. and drivers, and maybe try and do a restore or refresh or something on my phone and see if I can get to "scratch" and re-start from there.
I installed winamp on phone and reinstalled it on PC for wifi, and it kept mounting/unmounting my SD card from phone to computer each time I plugged it in (I think that messed with my card possibly giving it "unknown")
Or also when I changed my Kernel may have made the phone unknown. Those are the only 2 changes I can assume did this to my phone =/
any update on your phone?
UPD: My kernel was causing all my problems. Restored to an earlier backup and it had older kernel. All problems were relieved.
hello! i was searching through the internet and I can't seem to find a definite answer for this type of problem.
my galaxy s4 can't seem to have a stable connection with my PC. it works
so far what I've done
-plugged it directly to the motherboard usb port
-used samsung original cable
-install all USB drivers (installer, kies)
-uninstall, reinstalled drivers but no avail
-used different cables. ( the original cable doesnt seem to work. whenever i plug my device, it only charges. but there is no notificcation that tells me the phone and PC are connected to something) and then i used a motorola cable and the phone and PC seem to detect each other. but only in one of the motherboard ports.
and also, if ever the PC detects my phone, the "connect/disconnect" loop appears... the "connect/disconnect" loop DISAPPEARS when i plugged the phone to a specific port. BUT, it cant seem to have a stable connection. whenever i transfer a large file, lets say a movie. it copies the file half way then the phone suddenly disconnects then reconnects by itself automatically like nothing happened. I couldn't also flash firmwares cuz whenever odin tries to push the files into my phone, suddenly odin will stop and says "disconnected"..... by the way, my PC's usb ports are OK. it can detect and transfer large files from my brother's optimus G and my sister's motorola droid with no problem. I have used this PC for flashing my previous phones with no problem (SGS2, SGS3, SGS1, Gnex, NOTE2, SGmini, china tablets). Yes i do change phone frequently.
can someone please enlighten me on this..and oh! by the way, I tried flashing and transferring files from my gf's laptop and there seem to be no problem at all... I even used the original samsung cable which doesn't work on my PC at home. I would really like to flash my s4 with the latest 4.3 jellybean, and my gf is back in her home town for the sem break so I can't use her laptop for now cuz she has brought it with her..
I would really any comments and insights will be highly appreciated. thank you!

not really. because it works with my gf's laptop no problem. but thanks for your reply.,
please help
The hint's in your 2nd last post. There's obviously something PC-side going on; your PC - probably with the USB ports, if it works on your GF's PC. Think about it, that's logic. If it was phone-side, it wouldn't work with any PC.
Fix
First connect ur phone to the pc whit the original white cable
them in ur S4 prees the notification of the usb is connected
Enjoy
If u just connect the phone it will only charge. U have to touch the notification.
I have google this for hours with nothing! I connect my Nexus 6P to my PC and it doesn't recognize it and not only that but the usb connection options doesn't show up on the phone either. I am completely lost!
I have installed the drivers multiple times, i have looked up the mtp inf drivers and nothing happens. When I connect it to the computer it only says chaging on the lockscreen thats it! I have no idea how to fix this. I am trying to go back to stock because i lost root flashing a custom nougat build. everything works except twpt won't boot up anymore and just hangs at the splash screen. and of course I don't have root. can anyone please help me! thanks

Have you tried a different cord? If its not the cord the inspect the port on your phone to make sure no lint or crud is physically blocking some pins. Do you have developer options enabled? Maybe something got changed in there. Its never happened to me so these are just guesses. Maybe somebody smarter can help.

Mine gives a notification that the phone is charging when I connect to computer but if I click the notification it gives me the option to transfer files instead. You do have USB Debugging enabled on the Developers Menu, correct?
Hello guys
I have the same problem on my phone i tried everything i found on google and other forums, and the last option that i couldn't do is to send my phone to replace the usb port, but i have no warranty as i bought it already used. It's a shame that no one can find a solution here especially that the other forums at least tried to fix for some people but not here on xda which is the first in the world.

I've even changed my USB port and daughterboard twice. I am stumped. I got 3 laptops 2 running 10 and one running Ubuntu and mAid along with a tower running xp. I fix unfixable phones and resell them. I've tried EVERYTHING. I know this is an old thread but Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Group... Newbie here and I am sure you will figure that out by my questions and terminology ... I am a Hardware tech specializing in Microsoldering...and Iphones at that. I just bought out another store with loads of devices I am attempting to fix and sell. I have been successful on most all of them, and now have an Att Galaxy S5 that I am getting trolled by.
It powers on (Has an unlocked padlock) while booting. but all APK's ive tried says its not rooted...
I wrote Att unlock and got approved with unlock code (Not attached to an account, not lost or stolen, clean IMEI).
I restored it using power/Home/Volume up (Padlock still unlocked)
I plugged it to computer to use ODIN to restore back to original Stock but phone will not connect to computer.
Developer mode is on and debugging checked... no drop down and not recognized by computer at all. Thinking it could be a charging / Data port (Even though it charges with computer), I swapped the logic board into another "Known Good" housing that does connect. It made 0 difference.
all other Galaxies connect just fine so Cable / USB Port / Drivers all appear okay.
Since I cannot use computer and ODIN, I wanted to try SD Card to restore original Rom... but nothing I am trying works Any ideasany

install this first
https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
when you put phone in download mode that time Odin should see the phone, if its not then also change USB cable, PC
under developer option check if its listed for charging only or mtp
also on dial pad try this
type *#0808# and enable MTP.
Gave up on this one...Can close post
Thank you for your suggestion but have tried all of that. I have 7 others that connect fine...same model with same cord and same computer. Have the Drivers, tried everything under *#0808#... However, I have tried testing D+ and D- as well and all is good. Changed u7000 as well and no change. I'm pretty certain that it has to be a hardware issue so I just gave up and put it in my parts bin as I don't know Android hardware the way I know Iphones and have too many hours in it to make it worth while
