Hi all,
Recently after flashing my S2 with aokp rom , i have no more acces to my phone as usb storage, it charges only and moreover i can no more have access to odin (it shows driver not found). I tried differenent solution like :
1- change cable (th same cable is ok for samsung mini)
2- hard reset
3-reinstalling drivers with kies and samsung drivers
4- going to drivers et uninstalling them (the pc dont show nothing at all like my phone its not plugged)
Somtimes it worked like 2 on 10 attempts but after 2 days no more
Also i noticed somthing in download mode it shows that i cant recognise the device, a bootloader problem maybe(correct me if i am wrong)
Thanks if you have already a problem like that , i googlied the problem but no one have a solution hhhhh
rethanks all
Try to check the advance settings in settings>storage

Download mode should work regardless off your rom type.
Try different USB port, or try different computer
U really should try to clean the Micro USB port in first place, i read a lot of cases that phone was not recognized or it just didnt appear to connect to computer just because the port was oxyded... after cleaning (maybe with a very little screw and cotton) try to connect, if it dont, try on another computer, if it still happens its a problem on ur phone, then u will need to flash something, but lets wait till u test all this first ! keep us informed !
Dont forget to try to borrow a usb cable from a friend ! Doenst matter if urs works on another phone...
Hi thanks , for testing another computer i have three at home , same problem.
For cleaning usb port , it is not dangerous?? do you know is there a clean way to do it.
PS: i ll try tonight cleaning it a little:fingers-crossed:
Unfortunately i have the EXACT same problem.. tried everything "changing storage, re installing drivers, cleaning the usb port, trying different pcs and cables". Nothing works :S .. it also works at random times and then stops. Really annoying.
Well i clenaed the usb port with a needle and cotton but no detection, but i noticed that if my phone is off he is detected as unkown device
@HiNd0rZ: did you noticed the same thing
Well maybe it's not a hardware problem, i found that bootloader is related to driver usb detection, a bootloader problem maybe (correct me if i am wrong ) hhh
I have the exact same problem, the only difference is my sgs is still not rooted or flashed,
the last thing I did is update from gb to ics
what I has tried is hard reset, clean the usb port and try with another pc (2 notebook, 1 pc) and with 3 different cable
still not recognized....
No it's starting to bother me , after i full charge it acts like it charges but it's not plugged i think my usb port is caput , i'll try to take it to someone no guaratantee to send it back
Well finally i changed the usb flex cable and it worked but be carefull at testing the phone when you send it to repair the usb flex cable have also the micro so ba aware at testing the phone
Thanks for all and good luck for others

Hi,
I have a galaxy s II i bought about 8 months ago in germany, It worked great with 0 issues, ive moved sevrel roms and never had a single issue.
last week I updated to the JB preview CM10, MTP worked fine when I connected it to my PC and I had no issues other then the occasional reset.
anyway, this Friday I was using it as a modem, USB tethering, when suddenly it stopped working, I unplugged it, tried another port and I get unknown USB device, I thought maybe it was just a temp issue, but I reset, re-installed drivers, and still nothing, my PC runs windows 7 64 bit, I tried at work with multiple cables and windows xp on multiple PC's, also tried ubuntu, nothing...
I tried that USB code thing i think its *#2738# something like that to switch between modem mode to USB and still nothing...
weird thing is it charges fine, the connection seems to be good and its not loose... im starting to think it got static or something cuz in my days as a PC tech I saw this happen many times with USB Flash drives, the contacts would get static and they would go...
any ideas?
P.S I tried re-installing kies, and nothing...
any help would be great! thanks!

I would try on another PC first. If it works, the phone is fine so far and there is something wrong with the PC.
I have same problem. I almost tried everything (uninstall and reinstall usb drivers and kies, uncheck usb debug, different pc or cable, reinstalled firmware...) but none of them worked

Put your phone into download mode.. Flash a official ROM by using Odin..

I've tried all the above suggestions, 4 cables, 4 PC's, 4 OS's, Uninstalling and reinstalling on varoius computers (drivers and kies), samsung codes on the phone to switch from pda to modem and back to pda, flashing stock rom, formatting all cache and data... Im looking if there is some advance trick im missing, I think we can all agree that this is not an external factor like cable or computer, its like my data contacts on the socket are dead and only the charging is working.... has anyone ever heard of this? or maybe there is something on the phone that I can flash that i havent that doesnt get flashed during wipe, stock format?
the annoying thing is this phone was bought in germany and i live in israel and there is no warrenty here, it means I have to wait for someone to go there to fix it...
I mean for now I can copy stuff using a micro-sd adapter but its super annoying!
if anyone has an advanced trick that worked for them it would be amazing! if not ill just have to accept my fate

then it can b a hardware issue .. either usb port issue or a motherboard issue
u can try changin ur usb port ... u can order 1 from ebay and fix it urself ..
I've had the same issue but because of water damage
on another note, Try cleaning your port with a soft tooth brush.
YES!!!
Fixed it! it was so stupid yet no way of knowing,
so i almost ordered the flex cable but said I'd clean the inside first to make sure its not the issue, I opened the back case and while cleaning I noticed a ribben was loose, lol, i just popped it back into place and walla, worked like new!
thanks for all your help, my phone is back to working great

glad it works now
Well, the day before it occurred to me that I'd like to install a custom ROM, therefore I went on to plug my phone into my PC and for my surprise, the phone didn't pop that MTP warning and the PC did not recognize it.
So I went around and changed USB ports, cables and PCs, same thing.
Decided to try Mass Storage mode, when I press the START button and put in the cable it goes back into the main start screen.
So I went on and tried that *#7284# trick people used since apparently 4.0.3 bugged some crap stuff in the phone, no success either.
Strangely enough I can connect the "pendrive dongle" and it will map pendrives.
Well, I don't have my phone rooted or with SU so that means CWM from app store won't be able to install the recovery module, and I can't install... you get the picture.
Nor ODIN nor HEIMDALL will recognize my phone in recovery mode, wich suggests that the data lanes on my phone went somewhat dead.
Finally, any cable I plug in the phone says it's charging my device, wich leads me to belive that the usb port is dead.
Anyone had this issue?
Anyone can confirm me I'll have to take it to Sammy's assistance?
Sure looks like the USB is dead/dying.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
So I got one more question, can I root and/or install CWM so I do not stay dependent of the USB to update it or I do need to plug in the USB to install CWM through ODIN?
Several problems
It can be several reasons
1.the usb is dead buy new
2. try factory resetting the device
3. install kies on pc it will install all the drivers that you need
4.your usb port(of the phone) is dead
I had the same problem pc was saying "USB cannot be recognized" I TRIED EVERYTHING from factory resetting, changing pc usb ports, changing usb, changing kernel, roms, trying on other pc, reinstalling kies and drivers but nothing. The problem was in the usb port on the phone where you connect the charger on the phone. That part is weak and so you have to change it. Take to customer service with your warranty and they will fix it without charging anything just tell them your problem and say that you read that most of the galaxy s2 users have this problem and that you didn't touch the hardware of the phone

Warranty has already expired.
Kies was installed on the PC, ODIN gives no info @ COM port.
I wanted to connect it just to root and install CWM so I can swap ROMs as much as I want.
Thing is, the customer service wants 1 week to assess the issue and probably 100USD to fix it.
So for some god-knows-why reason my phone decided to conect to MTP while charging, I quickly restarted it into revocery mode and flashed CF_Root w/ CWM5.5.
Successful!
Bloody USB thingy!
Now I can start messing around with the phone.
Anyone has a n00blet guide on ROMs?
I was thinking about moving to CM 10.1, one of those nightlies running 4.2.2.
This is the one I used >> CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXX_LPE-v5.5-CWM5
Can anyone suggest actions?
For future you should change your USB-Port. Here we get one for about 15 € (about 20 $) in ebay. It's very simple to change and then you have a full working phone again. Just watch the Videos on Youtube and everyone can do this. Hope I could help!
Hi guys,
Its a bit confusing but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. It seems basically that I can charge fine in recovery and download but not in the ROM. Syncing doesn't work at all except download..
I have an i9100m. Ran NeatROM and RootBOX and dabbled with a few roms.
Now I'm not sure if it was the roms or wear and tear but I had ASSUMED until today that my USB port was messed. It would not even charge from a PC nevertheless mount as a mass storage on my PC. It can charge fine from an AC adapter.
Anyway, today I randomly decided to put my phone into download mode and what do you know, the phone detects, and I even see it in ODIN, so I guess my USB port is not messed afterall. Perhaps something with the ROMs and kernels that messed it up?
I think this was around the same time when my Triangle went away.... (I never removed it). In download mode now, it says:
Custom binary Download: NO
Current Binary: SAMSUNG Official
I'm rooted and not stock at all so I wonder if that's the cause?
I was thinking of downloading a stock TAR of my carrier and flashing through ODIN. Do you guys think this is sufficient to "Reset" it back to how it was all the way before? And then I'll root and go back to one of my trusted roms (and not mess around)
Thanks
Do you use the original USB cable to connect your phone? That could be an issue.
Anyways, I don't think that something is messed up software-side if you tried several ROMs.
Worst case is that the USB port of your phone is damaged =/
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes I am using the original cable. (all same result but obviously wanted to use the original just in case)
I was thinking the USB port was damaged too because after reading, I guess apparently I accidentally created a usb jig? (triangle went away + stats wiped...)
But that aside, if my USB port is damaged, how come when I'm in download mode, PC and ODIN detect a device is connected and it charges, whereas within the ROM, I get neither ???
Just an update guys,
I used ODIN to flash completely back to stock... and I still cannot charge from PC. Basically computer doesn't see the phone at all. So it has to be a damaged port.. unless theres something else other than the internal SD that I can wipe????? I wanted to wipe everything..
Still really puzzles me though... that ODIN can see it in Download Mode.
One of the mysteries I guess.
Did you try to clean your mini usb port on the mobile? It could help.

So....your phone only charges on DL Mode?????
Sent from the little guy
I have tried to blow some air in there.. any other suggestions?
Well, the computer only recognizes the device in download mode, Windows sees the device, otherwise it doesn't.Just strange that I was able to flash an entire stock image through ODIN but in the ROM can't even get the computer to recognize that ANYTHING is plugged in (or the phone to charge so the phone doesn't see anything either)
And again, whats even more strange is that i had that one cheap extendable USB cable that probably messed everything up (it removed my triangle..so I accidentally somehow created a jig?) is able to CHARGE the phone even in ROM but still the computer can't see it as a device. LOL
This is so messed. I guess my main thing is even if I go ahead to replace the USB port (get it repaired), do you guys still think this problem would occur... =\

I currently have the exact same problem, except for the flaky usb cable removing your triangle. Mine is still there.
I brought my S2 to a repair shop because i was sure it was my USB port, but the guy there told me it connected in download mode just fine so the USB port should be fine.
Here is what I tried so far
- cleaned USB port
- Used diferent cables
- Used different PC's
- Used different kernals
- Used different roms
- Re-formated/cleared/wiped everything I could find.
Did anyone find a solution? Should I still have my USB port replaced?

Not unless you are already rooted. Does the PC not recognize that you have plugged it in at all or does it just not load the drivers correctly? Best way to tell is to open your Device Manager and plug in the phone. the DM should reload and show something, whether an error or not. If it does not blink out and reload when you plug / unplug the phone, then it's either a hardware issue with the phone's USB port, a bad cable, or bad USB port on PC. And it is possible for a phone to charge correctly, but have issues connecting to a computer if the data pins are messed up. If it IS the phone's port, the repair isn't that bad and could be handle with some patience and simple tools as this one does not involve soldering. You'd need this:

Dude really thankful,
As you say, the PC dosn't recognize that the phone is plugged at all, I try all the usb port on my laptop, different cable, and even different laptop and the same problem keep comming up.
I tried also to reboot in odin mode to see if my laptop detecet anything, but nada, nothing in the DM.
Also, like you expect, it can charge but no data connection, and whene it turned off and I plug it it automaticly turned on by itself.
I pretty convinced that it usb port is screwed.
So, to install a rom my phone have to be rooted!! no way to root it from the recovery mode?!
Thanks again

You can try to clean your USB port of the phone with some compressed air, in case some pocket lint got in there too. Doesn't take much to mess these things up, unfortunately. But yea, I doubt there is a way to root it in the stock recovery as most Samsung phones don't have this option. It'd take less time to just fix it probably then figuring out how to jump through all the other hoops to find a way around it.
I discovered last week out of no where I cant seem to use any sort of data with my phone out of its usb connector. I first noticed it after trying to use one of my thumb drives with the otg connector but now no thumb drives will work an adapter I used to use for a game controller no longer works and I cant evem connect it to my pc via usb. The weird part is usb charging still works perfectly. Idk what to do I've tried my best to gently clean it and gone as far as a factory reset with no luck. I really dont want to have to tear it apart and put a new port it.

You can try to uninstall all drivers for your device , use USB deview tool to remove hidden drivers .
32 bit
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
or
64 bit
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
Also try with original usb cable , and another usb port , also what you can try is to put your phone into Download mode and plug usb to see if is detected as Serial Port for odin COM . If is detected like that but when you normaly start your device it doesn't detect your device you can flash latest OS for your device and Region . to know which region you need you can download Samsung Phone Info.app from play store it will give you all information you need . For Firmware you can download on updato.com . Good Luck

So I've been using my original usb cable but have also tried others. I've also tried different ports as well as different computers. Also just tried changing to download mode and no luck.
Probably your micro usb port from cell phone is bad and you need to replace , if is on Warranty send them to replace that part if not bring your device in some legit service repair center .
You can try also to clean your usb port with 100% alcohol and some old toothbrush maybe some dust is stucked on contacts , but make sure your device is completely off before doing this stuff. Good luck

So had something interesting happen I got excited because I randomly decided to try it again and It recognized a thumb drive so I decided to try my usb dongle for my game pad but had no luck so then I tried the thumb drive again and it no longer works so idk what's up with it. Here is a video of what it does to see if that helps https://youtu.be/n9hUo0MrUUw
