Hi I have a T-Mobile Vibrant and everything was working excellent till today... I took some pictures on the beach and when my girlfriend asked me for the pictures, I plugged the phone to the PC but it didn't recognized the phone. I had installed the samsung vibrant drivers but it is not working! I cant even use the AIO Vibrant Toolbox to put it in download mode for flashing to stock! Im desperate! Please Help! Hope is not a dead usb port!
Things I tried:
Factory Reset
Change the USB Port
Format Internal Memory
Try these drivers;

EDIT:
Make sure you remove previous drivers, and reboot your comp.
not workin
Hi I tried using those drivers but they didn't work... I formatted my pc tio see if it was a problem with pc but everything is the same... Vibrant knows it is connected it sounds when connected... Pc just says unrecognized device... Dont know what to do... What else can I do...?
try to go to computer->control pannel->remove new device (vibrant) , reainstall drivers (without phone connected) , connect your phone let windows find Your phone )
if that didnt help 1.before windows boots press F8 which will boot you in tree which will give you few options , 2 click on option which says DISABLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION 3. REINSTALL DRIVERS 4. CONNECT YOUR PHONE .
anther option is go to phone go to 1.SETTINGS 2.APPLICATIONS 3.DEVELOPMENT 4.CHECK USB DEBUGGING
One more 1. Settings 2. Applications 3. Usb 4. Enable mass storage instead of kies or music player .
tried everything
I reinstalled the drivers that way.... change the settings on the phone and i get the same USB Device not Recognized

Did you ever get this working? I'm having the same issues. I've tried 3 different computers and 2 different operating systems, all that I used last week without any problems. My phone is definitely not in Debug and it's definitely on Mass Storage. What gives?
Hi I couldnt fix it... I did found on internet about corrosion on the usb port but havent tried afraid to ruin it...

I don't think it's corrosion. I see all the pins fine with no wear on both the cables and the phone.
i bricked mine awhile back...and it wouldnt connect to windows 7 but would on vista.......dont ask me why but both my wifes and mine wont connect to either pc we have....have to remove external card and move things around like that.....sucks.
Rayn1328: that's what I do right now... move stuff to sd card and then to the internal sd card....
PsychoCemia: Well if it isnt corrosion..... What would be wrong with our devices? Everyone thinks its software issues but it is a Hardware issue....
I would like somehow to help us to repair our bricks! PLEASE!

I did look around a bit more, and found out about a thing called "USB unbrick." Looks interesting, but I can't do it from work, since I don't have ADB/Kies/etc here. I'll try it out when I get home this evening.
Here's a Link.
Hi Everyone, Really need help here
I (drunkenly) messed around with CWM on my phone and formatted a few partitions that I shouldn't have. Result - brick!
Had a JTAG done and it was revived and placed back onto Stock 2.3.3
Got my phone home and went to flash Litening ROM 6.1 onto it to regain root access... ODIN got about 2/3 through and failed.
Now I've got a phone that my computer's won't recognise. Windows is saying that the USB device has malfunctioned. Is there any way I can fix this without having to shell out for another JTAG repair?
When I turn on the phone I get that A....!....A looking symbol on my screen. Recovery mode does the same thing.
I can get to Download mode, but again my PC can't recognise it.
Any ideas?
try reinstalling the drivers.. That may work..

Yes, you can uninstall kies and install it again. It worked for some users.. Make sure kies is off when flashing a new firmware..

Odin the God of rom flashing is telling you flash stock and stop playing with your phone as next time you will get Thor .
jje
Odin the god of flashing is being a pain in my ass!
All I want is for my GS2 to be rooted and working - I still don't get how it's failed
Kies is still uninstalling...
do you have a usb jig? that normally forces it into download mode.. dirt cheap from ebay......... have a search

I can get to Download mode. Or am I missing something?
As far as I'm aware, the JIG will reset my binary counter and take me to DL mode - isn't that what Vol Down + Power + Home does?
with a JIG would my phone be more likely recognised by my PC's?
Thanks for all the reply's too by the way guys!
Okay, so I removed and reinstalled Kies - No luck
Download Mode is still showing Current Binary as Samsung Official though, so at least I can have it warranty repaired if need be.
I'm just finding it really hard to believe that it's bricked again, I've flashed heaps of ROM's to this phone without any issues. I just don't see how I could have two problems so close together.
Any other ideas?

I had an i9000 jtaged a while back and what i noticed was that when it came back from the shop it didnt have recovery mode at all.What I had to do was flash a couple of stock ROMs to get stock recovery back so I could Root it again.It took several atempts and fails too.Not having any type of recovery at the time of a flash might be what has caused the problem.Quite possible that if thats the case you will need another jtag
One thing you could try thats worked for me in the past is boot to download,plug in your phone and open Odin last.Sometimes its works.

Thanks, gave that a go and it didn't work. Tried it about 5-6 times
Is there a specific driver that can be used to allow Odin to see my phone? I've tried all that Kies has to offer and it's still coming up as unrecognisable - Windows is seeing a USB Mass Storage controller and a Bluetooth Peripheral Device, but it's unable to locate or install any drivers since the failed Flash.
I also tried the other linked thread. This didn't work either
I only spent $180 on a JTAG repair yesterday - Should've just bought my own RIFF box so that I could do it myself.

If you have access to a window xp computer give it a try, I had this issue with my captivate and my windows 7 machine wouldn't work but my old xp computer did.
An obvious and well known issue... Did you end process tree of both Kies processes in your PC's task manager?
Sorry if you have, it is all I can think of at the moment.
Sounds like it's time for you to give up flashing ROM's. Clearly someone up there doesn't like it. If your computer doesn't recognise it at all then its a faulty USB cable. So maybe that get that replaced before you demand Samsung fix your mistakes again.

Hi,
I'm using more than one cable. They seemed to both work fine too until the failed flash.
I didn't get Samsung to fix it, I took it to a mobile repair shop, I didn't demand anyone do anything either - I paid royally to have it fixed and would prefer to fix it myself than be charged again.
@jhernand1102 - I'll give this a shot now, fingers crossed!
After flashing a ROM on my note, my computer can no longer connect to the internal storage. If I hook it into the computer (windows 7) it says USB not recognized. I tried Google and nothing has worked so far so I was truing to get some input from you guys. So far I've tried:
1 pulling my phones battery
2 pulling my laptops battery
3 formatting internal memory
4 installed/reinstalled kies and drivers
5 connecting to Odin (not detected due to no USB recognition)
6 mounting in recovery
7 flashing new ROM
Any help would be appreciated. My phone recognises the storage is there it just won't connect to transfer files and what not.

Device manager on the PC needs to show USB composite device, not generic android device.
Regardless of Odin or Kies Being installed, the PC should still see it.
Go into phone, and turn on USB debugging, then manually connect the device in the network menu.
That may help.
Also, are you using the factory cable ??
These devices require a factory cable.
Overall, you may still have driver issues....g

Other than no USB connection ??
If so, the rom may have USB issues, and you could also get much more info from the particular rom thread.
Unknown USB device on pc usually means generic drivers are being used, and that tells me the specific device info may be missing in the new rom.
Is is AOSP/AOKP ??

The ROM was black star. And yes it works fine as a phone I just can't connect via USB no matter what ROM I'm on now. I think it somehow corrupted the internal drive. I have tried installing the drivers but its still out recognised

I know that blackstar USB function is good, and you may be right on corruption issues.
If the above links and methods have failed, then I suggest an Odin restore of the stock rom to repair the device partitions.
But be careful. Some devices are very resistant to corruption, while others seem to brick without warning.
Not that I believe we are risking a brick, but with so many users running blackstar without problems, I'm simply urging caution, as a portion of the process was obviously damaged.
Another option, is to wipe the caches on the device, but not data.
Then flash the rom over the top of your current build.
This will often repair damaged or missing files from an incomplete download.
But I would download a fresh copy directly to the device via Wifi, just to be sure ....g

Yea I've used it before (same version too ) but something went very wrong this go around apparently. I can't use Odin as it doesn't recognise the device being connected and mobile Odin (which is what fixed the problem for someone's international note but sadly doesn't work with the i717) and I've tried wiping caches, formatting my internal and external sd, and even flashing a different rom but not matter what no computer will recognize and connect correctly

Ugh...
Not good ...
I suppose it's possible that you have a hardware failure of some sort.
The port might have failed.
I'm not quite ready to say you need a new one, but that's a good next step.
There's been several port failure threads lately, and this one may turn into another.
With the device functioning properly on the rom , we are back to trying a new cable next, then on to the new port.
Of course, only if we know that the PC environment is working properly.
Any new programs on the PC ? Antivirus programs in particular ?
I'm just trying to cover all of the bases ...g

Nope nothing new other than the ROM and any other USB deice properly installs drivers and works including 2 other galaxy family phones a droid maxxx and an iphone 5 for goid measure. I think you may be right and its hardware failure at this point somehow. I'll probably just end up doing a warranty exchange because I've spent hours and Google just keeps letting me down every time I find a new "solution" . Thanks I appreciate all the suggestions

Always welcome ..
But I'd try a cable first ...then warranty claim.
I really don't think you did anything wrong.....I think the device failed ....g
Go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> USB Utilities then press Connect Storage to PC
It's a little deeper than that ...g
Hi. Wifeys S3 (just over a year old) has started bootlooping.
I can get into Odin and stock recovery but nothing else. The phone was always off limits to me so it has never been rooted of had USB debugging enabled. Ive tried adding a stock ROM to the SD card and installing via stock recovery but no good. Ive tried installing Kies but it wont find the phone. the USB drivers ive installed just come up with an error for the phone.
Am I stuffed ? Any options out there ? Im an ADB novice ....
Hi there,
no worries mate, just boot into Download Mode and flash a fresh stock ROM via Odin. Before you do that make sure
to read and understand stuff, otherwise you might permanently brick wifey's device. Make sure to flash only files intended for
that particular device. Ask before you do something stupid you didn't understand.
You will find everything about i9300 here:

Ive installed ODIN. Downloaded latest Samsung Drivers. Found a ROM (stock)
but ..... i cant get the device to be recognised by the USB drivers. I can get into ODIN on the phone - but i keep getting USB not recognised (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
Grrrrrrr
Uninstall kies and do a full driver wipe, then start again with just the usb drivers and odin. Try different usb leads and ports.
The symptoms so far describe motherboard failure, if you can't get odin to connect then it looks terminal.
I'd presume you've tried factory reset and cache clear in stock recovery.

uninstalled kies - uninstalled drivers. reinstalled drivers. still no connection and device descriptor request failed.
The phone isnt that old (was provided as a replacement for a dead Xperia) - maybe 18 months - so I might contact Samsung and see what they say
Honestly, in my experience (escpecially since using boxes) it is rarely a hardware brick.
1 from 10 dead phones or bootlooped devices have a defective board, the rest is recoverable by software repair.
There a tons of threads around like 'i9300 not regonized on USB port' etc. I find it much too early to give up saying it's the board.
It's probably not the board. Anyway, if you don't want the hassle of finding the fault and you are still under warranty of course you might just as well
see your service center.
But: it actually is a way to pull customers money from their pockets. I've seen HTC and Samsung changing boards 'cause the device has been rootet or BL unlocked.
They tell you it is their policy to return devices only in factory state and take all sorts of excuses to charge you changing the devices board without any neccessity.
quietening !

Just to quieten a little the OP, I can use ODIN on one of my laptops and not the other (USB not recognized depite wiping all KIES elements on the laptop, rebooting, installing USBdrivers from Chainfire (I believe) and rebooting.
No way. on the other laptop all is fine.
BTW This is a 9300 but not Qualcomm so I cannot find any soft to deal with nv files and EFS. ANyone knows if that exists for Exynox chipsets ? (so to have the adequate menu in Phoneutils)
Or is there a way to use command line to put the smartphone in theadequate mode for using EFS pro, or other NV tool (Qualcomm mostly, seem to me )
Regards
Have you tried booting the phone without the battery while on the charger? Hold vol up+home+power, release just power as the screen lights up.. vol down for download mode (needed for odin).

well it doesn't work hahaha even a thing to re install the driver in smart switch but it doesn't work , yay
In device management, scan for new drives command, can you see it then?
Check Event Viewer for error messages too.

What has the fact you can't boot phone into EDL-mode to do with default Windows 11 OS USB- driver ( what is USB Generic Parent Driver - Usbccgp.sys )?
If suitable ADB-driver is installed on PC then you can boot the phone into EDL-mode ( AKA Download mode ).
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot edl
FYI:
Please keep in mind that Windows app Odin only works flawlessly when phone is booted in the EDL.

Always install and use the USB drivers for Android as provided by OEM: Both ODIN and Samsung USB drivers are 100% compatible with any Samsung smartphone or tablet.

Think back to when this started. What was added or changed? You can still do a factory reset from Settings. The new Samsung's are fubar... I don't need any external connection to invoke the boot menu on my N10+'s.
Another reason not to use Samsung again.
