For some reason, whenever I plug my X10a into my computer, I get "USB Device Not Recognized", and the phone doesn't charge and I can't mount SD Card or use ADB...
It still charges through the wall socket though.
Anyone know what the problem is?

Your computer or SD. Uninstall any SE drivers with USBDeview and reconnect which should install new drivers and hopefully sort it out.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work...I tried connecting to another computer too, and nothing happened. So my only option now is to get a new SD card?
Hi, I am experiencing the same thing and this happened after that I first rooted my phone using superoneclick and then replaced my fonts with arabic fonts.
I hope someone can find the root cause for this error.

I've had off and on problems in this area. Searched around and found this thread.
[GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs
This is what he suggests to solve problems with ADB and USB, (below is ALL the work of the Guide author):
"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"
Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.
Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.
First download USBDeview - Here
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job

Had the same issue my friend. it's the USB socket within the phone that is gubbed. I spent days searching for a solution to no avail.
Why don't you install PC Companion? You can download it from SE. Once you've finished installation, connect your phone and let it detect your phone.
After that, you can uninstall PC Companion. The purpose is to let PC Companion installs all X10 drivers.
Hi guys,
Well it's not the socket because I can charge it normally with wall charger. Regarding the drivers, of course I have tried with PCcompanion and it didn't work.
Thanks...
well i think it can be the socket, becouse, wall charger only uses two wires of the five the socket has, so may be data+ or data- wire is broken. Have you tried with different usb cable?
As the mobile usb socket only has TWO solder points and it is very small socket and the position is not the best, may be some of the five lanes of the socket have unsoldered...and this is why it charges but it cant connect to computer.
It is only an idea..i hope the cause is some driver, mobile configuration (have you tried to reset your phone? ) or the USB cable.
after changing 3 cables I got it to work...
Thank you for your support.
USBDeview is giving me a virus, the .exe is the problem

nvm i downloaded the file from nirosoft.com instead and it works fine.
USB Controllers
Usually if it works on another computer, but not your own, it is because your USB Controllers are messed up. In Device Manager go to Universal Serial Bus Controllers -> right click each one and say Uninstall(your USB mouse/other peripherals will stop working so be warned) -> restart your computer and let it install all the drivers again. Should be working now.
I'm on v2.3 and taking out the battery and SD card and re-inserting it solved the problem for me.

I'm still having this issue. 3 cables 3 computers I think its my port. Charges fine when I plug it into wall or computer.

He did not say open device center , he said open "Device Manager", you can open it from computer management in the control panel ...
You did say it said "device unrecognized" that means the pc is "seeing" it , just not seeing it right ...
When in device manager find ,the item that is this "unknown device" if you are not sure which it is, unplug it see what dissapears, and what reappears when you plug it back in, it may just be under usb devices or the similar ..
Then Uninstall that device, then unplug the phone, wait a few seconds and plug it back in ... also plug it right into the computer do not use a usb hub ...
Thanks watcher,i understand now i did not read it right,i will try Device Manager now.
Thanks

i have had several experiences with usb devices malfunctioning and causing that kind of error. and a few of those times i was able to isolate the problem to a faulty cable. but those were generic usb/miniusb cables (ie not supplied with the device... just available loose in the market). if its a cable supplied by the OEM, i doubt it would fail all of a sudden. but try swapping cables and see... good thing hd2 has a standard mini usb interface...
Thanks silenced i will try a different cable tomorrow thanks for your help

Did you solve this problem because I m getting same problem with my cable. Charging but no connection with PC or Notebook. No Memory card reading or syncronize
Straight to the point as I need this fixed ASAP.
My phone can charge via mains and USB port on my laptop.
I cannot however mount SD Card or go into USB Debugging mode. The menu on the phone does not show up at all. Only charges.
I have tried different cables including official sony ones and a few third party ones to no avail.
I tried different PC's still nothing.
On the occasion I get "USB device not recognised" but it isn't a driver fault at windows end.
Done a factory reset of the phone... still nothing.
Please help

Hi, I have a Galaxy Player 4.0 that I rooted with SuperOneClick. It was working fine at first then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my PC no longer recognizes it as a device, it just charges when I plug it in. So, I looked around andn tried a few things:
Restarted it several times
Tried with all the different modes in USB settings
Tried with different cable
Tried with two other computers, a Mac Mini and a Win7 laptop
Tried to unroot, couldn't get that to work
Did a factory data reset
Nothing works. I can't remember anything I did since rooting that would cause this, except I installed the Samsung Kies driver on the PC. I can't remember if the USB mass storage was working after Kies. Does anyone have other ideas?
Bump. This is rather a big deal, as I cannot transfer files between my PC and Galaxy player in any way other than over WiFi, which does not work reliably. I don't have a microSD card adapter either.
You might want to check if anything related to samsung/android appears in the device manager. Alternatively, to use heimdall I use Zadig to switch from samsung's driver to libusb but it does show you everything connected to your computer via usb when you check the option to list all devices. You should try this with and without usb debuging enabled. If nothing shows up you know it id your player that is at fault.

The first time I plugged it in without USB debugging enabled nothing showed up, when I enabled USB debugging, in Zadig and Device manager there showed up an unknown device, trying to update driver in Device manager showed that it already had the best driver, and in zadig driver replacement failed. Now, when I plug it in, either with or without USB debugging enabled, nothing shows up anywhere. I have tried with other computers and other cables, and nothing works, so I am pretty sure it's the player. I am willing to to a complete factory system reset, but I don't know how.

I'm having the same problem with my rooted 5.0. Although it's not a huge problem for me (I use dropbox for file syncing) I would love to sort this out, let me know if your factory reset works!
You can find it in the Privacy section of the settings menu.

I suspect you have a faulty usb connector on your device, but it doesn't hurt to do a factory reset. But you might want to backup your data first Did you try to jerk the usb cable in your player? A loose/broken connector would explain all your problems. Even if it is a software problem, I can't see how to flash your device with the original firmware since you don't have a sdcard & usb doesn't work...
Btw, I was referring to zadig only to show the devices attached to your computer, not to change the driver!

Thanks, I only tried to change the driver because it showed no driver already installed. I have a bit of electronics background so I may crack it open and take a look at the connector. I already tried the factory reset in the privacy menu, but that only wipes data apparently, not the system. I do have an sd card, I just don't have an adapter to the PC.
EDIT: After wiggling the cable around a bit, it showed the USB icon in the status bar, so I clicked connect USB mass storage, but the computer still showed a badly installed driver and then after some more wiggling the icon disappeared, so I am pretty sure it's a problem with the connector. BTW, how would I flash the stock firmware to unroot?
When I first got my phone the usb worked now when I plug it into the computer the computer says usb not recognized. It is coming up as an unknown device and the phone isn't even giving me the option to mount as a disk drive.
I have usb debugging enabled and the drivers are installed but I tried re installing them but the htcdrivers.exe isn;t working. I click the .exe but nothing happens.

Check the cable, it could be damaged, use a different cable to verify and check the phones USB port as well, blow some compressed air into it if it needs cleaning, you can get the drivers from hasoons tool, uninstall and reinstall, that may help.

The wire is a little messed up but I don't think it's the wire because it can hold a charge.
I uninstalled and re installed and it still says usb not recognized. In device manager it just says unknown device

I've found that there are some wires that only charge the phone, and does not carry data. You should try a different cable, preferably the one that came with the phone.
it is the one that came with the phone but the dog chewed it a little I guess I'll try and get another one on amazon
I also had an issue with the cable that came with my amaze as well on my older laptop. I tried the usb cable that came with my mytouch 4G will fortunately works with my amaze and I had no problems. I'm guessing the newer usb cable is not compatible with my laptop or something.

http://hotfile.com/dl/141731525/b70ebac/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe.html these are the drivers
II. IF DRIVERS JUST WON’T AUTOMATICALLY INSTALL, DO IT MANUALLY HERE
1. A program called PDANet (used normally to allow you to wired tether your phone’s internet to your computer) can be used to install the ADB drivers for a lot of phones. Download it and follow it’s instructions to install it then go back to step 8 in Section I above and see if that gets you the serial number (if you do, you are all done). If not, then use one of the device specific programs below in step 2.
PDANet
2. Download your phone’s driver’s below then goto your Device Manager on your computer, look for the phone and click on it. Then click Properties > Update Driver > Browse > Let me pick > Computer > Have Disk > Browse > Then select the driver you downloaded below:
original post here http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Hi all,
I have a Rooted, WanamLite v6.3 ZSEMC1 ROM with AdamKernel 2.2.1+. i9300.
I updated recently from another previous version of the same ROM because I had noticed that my USB functionality has not been working. Specifically, the MTP application. Soon further found that my computer does not recognise ADB commands at all, as I used to install .apks from my computer quickly with adb install.
Odin does not even recognise my phone, even when in download mode. The only thing I havent tried yet is ADB in CWM Recovery, but im 99% sure that wont work still.
When I plug the micro-usb plug in it charges fine, but no data connection seems to occur. No windows detection, No USB device connected in the notifications bar.
I have tried:
-Backing up
-Installing vanilla ROM
-Installing stock ROM
-Using different computer with drivers
-Reinstalling Samsung Drivers
-Tried using Kies for the drivers
-Changing SD cards
-Power Cycling phone removing sim and micro-sd cards. Turning on after some time.
-Cleaning the micro-usb port on the phone with dental picks.
Im pretty much out of ideas apart from trying to organise to send it for repairs, after un-rooting.
If I was to re-root do you think this would solve the problem?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks :good:
UPDATE: I fixed this by using Mr. Despairs suggestion.
Power off, pull battery, SIM, SD card. Power cycled the power button with no battery in it.
Waited about 1-2 minutes.
Battery in boot straight to Download Mode.
Only got it to recognise once in about 15 tries.
Thanks again Mr Despair!
You could also try another cable. Or what I read in another german forum: Shut down your phone, take the battery out and in and reboot. Then reboot into download mode and plug in your phone. Then your PC should search for drivers.
Do this as a colleague says Mr. Despair replace the cable. Often dirt in the connector. Clean the connector on the phone.
Also check ...
Also check on a different computer/port - it could be a problem with the USB drivers on your computer.
Probably the safest test would be to cross-test combinations of 2-3 computers vs 2-3 phones.

He already wrote that he tried more PCs. He would have very bad luck if it is on both. But trying doesn't cost. He shoule then also try to plug it direct into the USB ports and not through a hub.
I have also tried two other cables which both previously worked.
Ill give the hard reboot into download mode a try.
No PC recognises it at all at the moment.
I have tried all USB ports, directly not through a hub or whatnot. This includes other computers too.
Im open to any other suggestions.
Thanks for the help so far
Have you installed KIES?
KIES and ODIN cannot co-exist.
Install ONLY Samsung USB drivers then run ODIN.
As for installing apks, you shouldn't need to install via adb. You can just copy to sdcard and run from there.

I had used ODIN without KIES existing on my system.
I installed KIES to try and get it to read my phone for once.
I used ADB to install .apks when I had ADB running. I have the problem now that I cant use it, because my phone MTP, ADB or even Download Mode wont read my phone. All from different computers etc.
:crying:
Sounds more and more like a hardware failure. What about reboot to CWM then in mounts and storage to mount the USB drive? Can your PC recognize it this way?

Yeah im thinking hardware too. If I throw it into CWM and try to mount /sdcard, it doesnt to anything. Nothing changes it just stays permanently on mount /sdcard. (Its not mounting).
Mounting external_sd works but its not helping me.
Anyone ever returned a SGS3 to factory or phone provider?
