Unable to connect with USB - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I know there are thousands of threads like this, but none of them gives me a solution. If I try to connect my SG2 (Stock ROM) with an USB cable, I get a really annoying message all the time. (Screenshot: http://www.techiesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/USB-device-not-recognized-1.gif) It's still charging. When I try to install the drivers, I get an error message too. It tries to install drivers through Windows Updates, which doesn't work. Maybe Samsung's old drivers will work... Does someone have them?
My USB port just work. I can use everything else with it. The cable also works, and I've tried several cables. USB Debugging is enabled on my phone.
Things I already tried:
-Install drivers through download mode
-Cleaning up the USB port
-Different USB ports and cables
-Reinstalling drivers/Samsung Kies
-Removing the battery
-Install drivers w/o SIM and SD card
-Manually install drivers
-Soft factory reset
-Samsung Kies' troubleshooting
-USB Mass Storage
I hope somebody knows a solution for this.
Thanks in advance,

Same problem for me, I think my Micro USB Port is broken (I'm pretty sure). Just replace it for ~10$ and you'll be fine

Same thing happened to me. I just reinstalled making sure all other programs were closed and I haven't had the problem since.
Hope this helps.
Install Kies .
Reboot phone
Start Kies

Turn KIES off from taskbar .
Turn USB debugging on phone connect USB mass storage mode and let windows find driver .
That do work try all the other posts same subject for an alternative .

No go
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..

[Q] USB Port Problem

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?

I initially tried this with no success, however after about 15 tries I got it to work once!
Thanks heaps for this!
Pull Battery, SIM and SD. Press Power buttons a few times and let it sit for about 1 minute.
Battery in and boot straight to Download mode. Worked once in about 15 tries. Reflashed everything and it works now!
Thanks Despair!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Phone is not recognized by usb connecting to PC.

Hi help me. :crying:
I have installed CM9 stable. My phone is work only with charger. I am sure that's not problem with USB port, because only usb mode works if i go in options -> storage -> usb connection if i change from mass storage to MTP or PTP several times when in phone appears on the notification bar information about connection. It is temporary fix until i reconnect it. I also tried in CWM recovery and nothing happens likewise fastboot or flashmode and it is the same, only led is lightening. Nothing help like restoring backup from recovery. It can be caused by OTG USB modules ? How can i back to stock rom ? (I tried PC Companion and SEUS). I think something is wrong with usb modules in the phone (not Windows or PC, etc.). It is a option to flash kernel or rom without using PC? What can i do with that ? Please help me
Install all drivers for all devices/modes from flashtool (installation folder) -> drivers. Then try again
Otherwise reinstall or update PC Companion or Sony Update Service, they install some drivers, too. Or you try another PC :good:
I'm sorry but it's impossible to flash a kernel without your PC...
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2
Ok, thanks for the advice. I am gonna try this, but how i should install drivers if nothing appears in the device manager in PC. Only what i see it is a called like „sony sa0102 adb interface" and only if i switching between usb modes in phone settings. Maybe the issue is in the phone like i write earlier about this. The smartphone dont detect usb cable present or he doesnt switching a driver for the connecting. Thanks again for the reply.
Sure its not the problem of the cable?
Don't forget to hit thanks
It can't be problem with cable because very rarely works in while when i changing usb modes in settings phone. But, thanks i will try on another cable. My kernel is from CM9 stable in zip file, but on this kernel only will work CM9 or nothing else like ROMs based on the cyanogenmod for example CM10 or AOKP ? I, one day connect usb otg (host) cable to phone and charger. This cable had 2 inputs male but also i have converter usb (female-female). And only work mouse and the keyboard (without usb flash disks, drives, etc.). I would be grateful for the answer my question. Thanks.

[Q] Galaxy S3 no longer detected!

Hi everyone, I have a biig problem: my s3 stopped being detected by my computer.
I took off the Hard Disk from my pc for two days and I used it as a slave on another pc. Yesterday I put it back on my pc and my s3 isn't detected anymore. It's weird because I used eclipse and usb debugging everyday in the last few moths, so it worked completely fine.
I tried to uninstall drivers and install again - nothing changed. I tried to install/reinstall kies, change cable, change usb port and no luck.
I thought my phone was the problem so I connected it to a laptop and it worked! it was detected!
If I connect another phone to my pc it is detected, so it's just a problem between my pc and my s3.
I also tried to wipe cache/wipe dalvik.
I'm desperate cause I'm a developer, I need my phone to being detected!
Thanks in advance!

I already installed them! I'm going to think it's a pc problem, but it's weird that it detects every phone but my s3, isn't it?
I just noticed that also OTG doesn't work anymore... so it could be a phone problem, but it is detected from other laptops!
I'm confused
Use mainboard USB port .
Use USBDEVIEW tool to remover drivers from the port then clean install of drivers .

same problemm with my..... when i connect my mobile to pc , it behave just like wall charger. but today suddenly it also stop charging too.
but when i put my phone into download mode it detects with my Pc. but still not connecting in normal mode...........

Try booting a live Linux(don't forget to add the udev rules and restarting udev) and see if your phone gets detected.

Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 softbricked, no recovery and not connecting to pc only download mo

The problem begins when I flashed custom recovery using Flashify app on my rooted stock device. It makes device soft bricked.
and it not allowing me to go into recovery mode! But I could go through download mode easily so I tried to flash new recovery using odin. :fingers-crossed:
But when i plug phone into the usb port( tried all of them ) I realized that my pc not detecting my phone neither any sound of connecting nor any notification. I've checked many times i installed proper driver as well. I tried to check any hardware change on driver manager but nothing comes up. I tried couple of pc, windows 7 and 10, and bunch of usb cables but still no success. Please help me!
Sounds like the USB port may be damaged. Does it charge?
having the same problem :/
Nothing detects it

Thanks for responding and Yes it's charging! But I don't think that usb port could be the culprit cause I can connect & use another device easily through them!
