Hey guys today i got the samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 and the phone works fine but theres something weird happening and is that everytime i plug the phone to the computer it charges but it doesnt let me use the phone like a usb drive i cant acces my phone and in the notification bar it doesnt show the option to mount to usb, and if i put the phone in download mode odin does not recognize the device and everytime i plug the phone its says one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.
Do you know what could it be? is this something than can be fix?
Before you can connect the phone via odin, you need to have the drivers installed. So first thing you need to do is have your computer detect the phone.
-See if the cable is working..if you have another cable, try your luck with that.
-clean the phone's USB port.
-try putting your phone into USB debuhging mode from the settings menu.
-Im assuming your still on stock. Dial *#7284# and on the USB option select PDA. This worked for me while I had trouble on stock.

Install Kies .

Turn KIES off from taskbar .
Turn USB debugging on phone connect USB mass storage mode and let windows find driver .

Tried all of the above, still no go, could it be my micro usb port on the phone is busted? When i tried connecting as Mass storage it says usb cable is connected, pls remove cable.

No thats just incorrect user settings .
Remove cable go to settings Applications Turn on USB debugging .
And?or turn usb mass storage mode on via settings Wireless and network USB settings then connect cable .

Yup, I did. I removed cables and turned on USB debugging, and tried the mass storage mode, upon connecting it says cable connected and to remove.
I'm getting this problem once I'm in Download mode. It's worked before... why would it stop?
Any tips?
I have the same problem
I seem to have the same problem I connect my phone via USB and get a USB Device Not Recognized message but MTP application opens on the phone. This has only just happened I have had it working before since I had the phone on 2 computers and have tried to different cables now it does not work on either computer. If any one has had any luck I would love to know how you fixed it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 - USB Device not recognized.
Hey Guys,
I have the same problem. I've even tried going into "Recovery" Mode and then running odin.. Still no luck. It just does not recognize the phone.
I tried a different cable but still no luck.
Guys,
i had had the same problem until i started to use the original USB cable(came with the phone).
Have a good luck!

Got the same usb problem, different pc's, driver, cables nothing works.
After three month of use no Kies Odin ore mass storage us....big problem
any news info on this? seems to be quite common, though I only get it with stock roms, custom roms dont seem to have this issue
Cables Guy; I'm trying to figure out if I'm having the same problem as you. Does your phone charge when plugged in? Because mine does not.
i think in your case it might be the usb port in the phone itself, if nothing that you plug works well.
I believe there is an issue with kies/MTP and windows drivers for the rest though.
For me my phone doesnt get detected o nmy onboard USB but it does on the usb3 pccard i have.
any good news to solve this problems?
i got the same problem and worst case is my phone cannot detect sim
I had the same problem.. I just switched back to the original cable that came with the phone & problem was solved..

whats your phone kernel? and are u able to connect to pc as usb storage? or did u flash anything weird before?
Yeah, so i've read plenty of topics about USB problems, but none gave me the
anserw.
I'm running Villain ROM 3.0. I just cant connect my phone to the computer (Mac).
It work well before also after flashing Villain.
What i tried:
1. connecting my phone without usb debuging ->phone gives the sound and report in the notification bar : "MTP - initializing" then "USB Connected, MTP-connected" But it does not gives a connection with my mac.
2. Connecting my phone with usb debuging ->phone gives the sound, but nothing happens. nothing in the notification bar neither on the computer. It's strange becouse before it was making the same sound and giving me the info in the notification to connect.
3. I've also tried KIES air it works fine. i can see my phone content, but when im trying to send one file (130mb) there is no reaction to this.
Also some time ago i was able to get usb working by simply choosing usb debuging and restarting phone.
But now i have no acces to my storage
Please help
I have a similar problem.
When I connect my SGSII to my PC (with USB Debugging On) I see 2 Removable Drives in Windows' Explorer. If I click on either one I get the "Please Insert Disk". If I connect to the same USB with USB Debugging off, then Kies Starts but does not connect.
Now the weird bit, if I do the same thing in the next USB port, then everything works fine.
Going back to the first USB slot then the problem reappears.
The 2 USB slots are next to each other and go back to the same controller on the motherboard. I have removed Kies and reinstalled Kies. I have uninstalled all the drivers. I have even changed the USB cable. When I plug a USB External Hard Drive into either USB, it works fine.
Maybe the phone just likes the one connection per computer. I'll have to test that out in my work's PC.
Update:
managed to get a microUSB cable and tested it on my work's PC. Exact same situation. Both PCs run Windows XPpro.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Now, when you said that, i checked with my second usb por, and everything works fine .
So thanks for your help. One working with sgs2 usb port is enought for me

I have tried that and nothing :/
Try turning USB debugging off and try again...
By the way, you're on stock 2.1 correct?

i have try that and nothing
i have try easytether driver
the msi program and all sort of things
and im in 2.2
So USB debugging won't work. Kies/Sammy drivers won't work. I have a radical idea. Maybe your computer won't recognize the drive as a Mass Storage device b/c the drive letter got deleted somehow. This has happened to me on a few phones when flashing-fantastic.
Try this and see. It is for XP but I suspect there are similar solutions if you are on W7.
ill chek it out but i have try my phone in 3 direrent computers and nothing :/
the strange thing is when i plug it in to the PC it only charges
but when i plug it in to de AC adater it goes into debuging mode 0.o
Now i turned debuging off and turned mass storage on
and when i plug it to charge it says USB connected phone conected to computer 0.o
Try these steps:
1. Disconnect your phone from your PC
2. Setting
3. Wireless & Network
4. USB
5. Click the last option (don't remember)
6. Reconnect your phone again
Good luck

Hi,
I think the usb port on my sgs2 is f***** It will send a charge to the phone, but will not recognise it.
I get error on my vista laptop as :
USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED - One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
I have tried reinstalling usb drivers on kies and put in debugging mode etc. I had a problem with the phone not charging around christmas time, so I cleaned the usb port with a cocktail stick, that got the charge working, but it has not picked up usb mode since. So I cant connect usb storage or to ODIN, let alone KIES.
Does anyone have any advice/suggestions as to what I could try, I really dont want to send it back for repair and be handset less for a month!

I am Sure no problem with your mobile. May be problem with computer Hardware or Drivers.
can you try different USB port or you can different computer also.
If you dnt have another PC , uninstall all samsung drivers & kies and reboot the PC.
Just connect as USB storage . USB storage not require any special drivers.
Also use the original usb cable. I have two different cables and only original one works.

I have the same issue, if your not rooted just Send it for repair under warranty but if you are you'll have to flash a stock kernel to remove root first and use a jig to reset your flash counter

Had the same problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425128my cable was the culprit.
Mobile Odin for flashing and Remote Web Desktop/Root explorer for SD access will tide you over.

Make sure:
The selection of AP/BP connection behavior
when connecting your phone (as a client), with a USB cable
to a PC host, is manually set in the PhoneUtil (PU) Menu.
This sets the behavior of your phone when connecting it
to a PC. You can select wether you like it to act as a
Modem or PDA, o via USB or UART port. The PU does not
seem available from the ServiceMode menu.
Dial: *#7284#
Code:
UART:
[o] MODEM*
[ ] PDA
USB:
[ ] MODEM
[o] PDA*
* is default SGS2 setting.
For a while now I haven't been able to use a USB cable to my phone because "usb drivers not recognized"
Anyway, today I flashed the sept 3 build of AOKP and it flashed fine. I then went back to recovery and flashed devil kernel and gapps.
Now i'm stuck in a bootloop and cannot get into recovery. I normally would just odin but i can't use that as my computer does not recognize..
Help please?
Anyone?
I have tried multiple USB cables (not a genuine samsung one though) and have had no success. What could the problem be? My laptop says I didn't even plug something in, and my desktop says whatever I plugged in malfunctioned.
Download and reinstall the drivers. That has always done the trick for me.

After you redownload and reinstall drivers, put your phone in download mode and plug it into the wall charger first, then the computer again. I had to use a data cable that I got from Fred Meyers to get me out of trouble once also.

Tried reinstalling drivers a billion times and also tried entering download mode before computer. One thing I have noticed is that it say "USB device has malfunctioned" and it shows as "Unknown USB Device" when I plug it into a USB3.0 port, and when I try USB2.0 it doesn't show up at all.
It is possible there is something wrong with the cord, computer port, or port on the phone. Things happen of course. I would try getting g your files together and using friends computer for a few minutes, just to see if the phone is okay. Just using the process of elimination of course. Good luck!

The same thing happened to me one time u had to change usb cords then it was my ports and once I did one of those I was back in business
