[Q] Big Problems After Disconnection of USB Data Cable - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have a big problem, every time I disconnect my SGS from the pc my phone goes crazy and gives me FC's and none of the bottons work unless I take out the battery it will stay giving FC's for a while and then it reboots and keeps looping the reboot procedure.
The only way then to get to my phone is by factory reseting and deleting dalvik cache and battery stats via CWM. btw I had this problem since my first MIUI (1.7.22) and I've updated it every week but still no change.
Does any of you GURU's have an idea about this, it is really irritating, because practically I can not connect the phone to my pc to exchange data, with the original Samsung Android I had 4 or 5 ways to connect to my PC (Wi-Fi, DLNA, AllShare, USB Data Cable Samsung Kies and Samsung Kies AIR), but now I can not connect with any of those mediums.

.
try flashing it from 2.2.1froyo because if you flash miu from gb you will get lots of fc's, flash to froyo 2.2.1, then go to recovery mode, wipe data, datadata, cache, dalvik cache, and system and then do a fresh install. ive had problems like that before and it was because i came from gingerbread the bootloader wasnt correct to flash miui, also try fixing permissions from cwm hope it helps

I am comming from froyo, but thanks anyway, your reply gave me an idea.
I'll try another ROM, maybe cyano or maybe something more exotic like F1 SGS II or Fasty.

Have your tried ejecting the phone from your PC USB menu before unplugging it?

Yes, Sometimes it helps but most of the times doesn't have any effect at all!

[Q] cleared Dalvik cash now computer will not detect phone

Ok so I decided to clear the dalvik cashe, now the auto rotation is always sideways and the computer will not recognize the phone. Do I need to go back to stock, and how do I get the computer to recognize my phone. All drivers are installed and I am running Cog v3 with firebird 2 kernel.

Reinstall the drivers.. Use another USB port, if the one you are using doesn't work. And make sure that the Kernel is firebird2 by going to Settings -> About Phone.
After clearing dalvik cache, two reboots should bring it all back up..
I have rebooted several times. I have tried to reflash the rom and the kernel. Different usb ports dont work either. I think I deleted something in the phone that lets it communicate when the dalvik cache was cleared.
That does not make sense. I have deleted my davlik cache many times. Never had that issue

I've cleared it a few times too..
Check two things:
1) Is Odin detecting your phone? (Odin should be started first and then USB plugged in)
2) adb devices ... does this return anything?
Odin does not detect my phone. Will try adb
ADB doesnt see it either?
is there no way to restore usb connctivity to the phone?
have you tried with a different usb cable? or maybe trying your cable with a different phone? some of the more recent blackberry phones use the same cable so if you or someone you know has one, you can test with their phone or cable? clearing the dalvik cache will never cause this problem, so something else must have changed. does the usb port on the phone look clean, do the contacts look normal? maybe try with a different computer?
Clearing dalvik cache only increases the next boot up time since it needs to recreate the whole cache. That is all. This has nothing to do with connecting to computer. Looks like something on ur computer changed.
Ok I will try another cord, but litterally everything was fine just the night before. The next morning I cleard Dalvik and started to have problems, the instant my phone rebooted, the phone is sideways and the only way to get it back is to use the erase personal data. So I am pretty sure something got corrupt. I tried several computers, deleting and reinstalling drivers, reflashing the rom and kernel. Also tried JH7 through CWM.
Problem solved, went to the ATT warranty center and got a rebuilt phone. Now the GPS works and I can connect it to the computer.!

[Q] Won't start unless plugged

It won't start unless plugged it shows empty battery. sometimes when i unplug it stays connected. In usb settings if choose mass storage it seems to get in a loop of connect-disconnect. I have tried flashing different roms but it didn't fix. Any idea of what is happening? Could it be hardware problem?
I've got the same problem, I've tried every kind of wipe, flash with repartition, clearing stats and so on. I'm starting to suspect it's a hardware issue. The Phone seems to always think it's plugged into USB no matter what, it keeps rebooting to the battery icon over and over until I plug it onto a power source and then it boots fine.
After that I can get it back to normalish by rebooting with the power disconnected using the extended power menu in Darkys Rom.
Can anyone help? When I get back from my trip I'll likely flash it back to stock and send it in for repair, or just ***** at bell and get another new phone.
I'm having the same issue, I've searched all over internet and I found other posts with the same problem.. and no one has found a solution for this.
I think is a hardware problem. after having this I've bought a chinese compatible battery, and when I put that battery in, the phone boots up without even pressing the power on button, so weeeird!
With the original one.. there is no way to boot up without plug the phone. I've had the phone working well for more than 5 months
if someone finds a solution please tell!
thanks in advanced!
I had the some problem and more. I did something and this one has gone. I think i replaced a new update.zip in the phone and that solve it but i am not 100% sure. My phone starts normal but when its off sometimes the battery still flashes. In a week or so i will send it to waranty i think.

what did you did? so do you think it's a software problem?
I tried to use a non-original battery and when I put in this new battery, the phone boots up without even press any button. so something it's really wrong. if I try the same with the original battery.. nothing happens, the screen is black unless I plug the phone to the charger.
well, at least I can boot my phone without plugging it this way.
I look forward to know more details about this issue.
thanks!
I look forward to know more details about this issue.

unfortunately I've done the search in this forum and I haven't found any solution for this, I can't believe it!
regards!
This problem is back again. I can`t start the phone unless it is plugged. I am with the nervs down at this moment.
what makes me crazy is to not know if it's a software or hardware failure!
in my case seems to be a hardware problem unless the phone recognize the non original battery and that makes a software change that makes the phone to boot.
I'll wait until the gingerbread update, and if after update it doesn't work, I will bring the phone to samsung repair point.
I see that I'm not alone with this problem.
Maby if i could connect the phone on usb to pc i would do something but that dosent work either for me so god have mercy.
I had that problem for a few weeks. Went away with a firmware change. Flashed back to stock and then docs rom. No idea what it was. Just went away.
Are you sure the battery is charged? I had the exact same problem on cm7, turned out my battery ran flat overnight

Try this:
Format all your mounts in recovery mode with Clockworkmod. You can do this by going to 'mounts and storage' and formatting boot, system, data, cache. I did sdcard and sd-ext to be sure).
When you have done that install a 2.2.1 stock rom and the problem should be fixed. From here you can install custom rom's again.
Also try disabling any lagfixes (also via CMW)

OK, I'll do that thanks for the suggestion.
I only have one more doubt left, If I do that, after formating everything in clockworkmod.. What does it happens to the phone? is it going to be able to boot after formating all of this? I'm asking this because I don't know how to download the official rom without using kies and the phone booted up and connected via usb cable.
thanks so much!
I've got the same problem.
I thought it was me trying to flash JVK, but after flashing and reflashing 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 and back with bootloaders the problem stayed. I'll try the format "everything" from CWM, hope this will work.
Still abit strange
(BTW I recently was in sub 15 degrees temperatures, surely this isn't the case??)
I had a problem like this where I was getting USB connected coming up again and again and my phone not starting when it wasn't plugged in.
This sounds dumb and I may just have been lucky but I turned USB debugging off and it stopped, left it off for a day or so, a couple restarts later I thought I'd see if it was still playing up so re-enabled it and nope everything's ok again. That was a couple weeks ago and so far so good, I hadn't seen any reports of anyone else with this.
Might be worth a try
Oh I'm using Darkys 9.5 by the way
My problem got worst! My phone would not charge at all until i reflashed. It now charge and boot normaly without to have it plugged, but my pc don't recognize it, not even in download mode with odin. I quess it has something to do with the hardwhare because both times the problem started when i charged it in the same plug.
i had the same problem,I just cleaned the usb port,plugged in the cable without connecting it to the pc or power source,and it started now it's ok
Me too
Another victim of this issue.
I was running a Darky Rom when I first noticed it... I think I was on Ficeto's 2.3.5 JVT. s
I have tried several steps to rid myself of this issue, with no success:
1. Reflashed ROM CWM
2. Reflashed Kernal CWM
3. Factory Reset, format internal SD, & ODIN flash Stock ROM.
4. Wipe & Flash Juwe ROM.
5. Each time, I also wiped the Dalvik Cache and battery stats.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a lengthy period, I have tried draining the battery all the way down, charging all the way up.
At least with the Launcher I am using now, it has the "Reboot" option instead of just turn off. However, I have to make sure I have a USB cable close by and charger in the car all the time now, just in case it runs out of juice or locks up for some reason and needs a battery pull.
Frustrating... Of course, the warranty expired the end of October.
If anyone has successfully completed the recommendation of formatting boot, system, data and cache and flashing stock Froyo? If you have done it, PLEASE post your detailed steps and the result so we don't waste time repeating something that won't work.
I was eyeing the SGS 2, but with all of the issues the market went through with the SGS, I am thinking maybe I should get away from Samsung...

[Q] All apps are crashing

Hello,
I have problems with my i9000. I am using MIUI 1.11.11.
The thing is that since yesterday I have serious issues with my phone. It happened before upgrading to new version of MIUI.
All apps started to crash, there is no exception. Starting from Google Services Framework untill standard bluetooth app. Every single one. I can't even check any e-mails, messages, I can't even make a call because calling app crashes too. I can't receive any calls at all. I rebooted phone, cleared caches, upgraded phone to MIUI 1.11.11 and nothing. I can't use my phone anymore.
When I pressed "Report problem" I saw for a second log with problem it said something about "data I/O error".
I think the issue is somehow connected to sdcard since I had problems with it before. It was always hard to connect my phone by usb cable. Actually... it was always hard to DISCONNECT my phone. I had to wait looong minutes (about 20 or so) till it finished disconnecting.
If you guys could help me, I'd be glad.
Thanks in advance,
v.

[Q] Phone suddenly «wiped» / won’t boot

Yesterday I suddenly found my phone to be turned off by itself. When I tried to turn it on again, nothing usually happened. Sometimes however, it looked like it would turn on, but the white bootlogo would barely show, or maybe up to a second, and then it would go black again. When connecting a charger the charging icon would show for a second, and then black again, and still the phone wouldn’t boot. Recovery or download mode wouldn’t work either. I was hoping it was only the battery that had just died, since the phone won’t work at all without the battery, even with the charger connected. But when I tested a friends battery today, it would still not boot, and my battery worked fine in his phone. But, at least it turned on each time now, showing the bootlogo for a second, and then all black again. Recovery mode still won’t work, but I’m able to get it in download mode. If I connect the phone to the PC by cable first, it won’t start or go in download mode, I have to get it in dowmload mode first and then connect. I was using stock system v2.3.3 from about a year ago, but with Clockworkmod kernel.
So what could have happened? I figure the system is either corrupt, or even wiped?
Or could the phone itself be badly corrupted?
I also have to mention, that a few months ago the internal and external SD-card was suddenly wiped, and I got a message about error on one of them and had to reformat.
Since download mode is ok, I hope there is a chance to maybe flashing the system again with Odin?
Is ther any way to connect the phone to the pc and get access to the memory to maybe copy whatever data still there, if any? Or can I reflash to just put the new system on top of everything without formatting?
I think your sd connectors are corroded or damaged. For your data try to flash the semaphore kernel by Odin to get a recovery (link ). After flashing, go into the recovery look for "mont and storage" and select "mount usb storage" or something like that. With your pc connect your device and copy your data in your pc like an usb stick.
If it doesnt work, say goodbye to your data and try to reflash a rom by Odin

Instruction:
- Unzip the file
- Open Odin (if you don't have it download here )
-Put CODE in the PDA case
-Put MODEM in PHONE
-Put CSC in CSC
-Now Put your phone in Download Mode and connect it
-Press Start and don't touch anything until the great case above the yellow one became green.
Please reply me for more info
Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow morning at work, don't have the time today.
At least I do have a complete backup from about two months ago, so it's no disaster about the data. There's not really anything that important on the phone, it's just all the work setting everything up like I want it again.
Please reflash a stock rom with odin...
I was able to flash semapfore kernel, but still I couldn't get the phone in recovery mode.
Flashed stock firmware 2.3.3 (last nordic version), and the phone booted fine, but lots of old programs kept crashing and messing with the system. Best of all, everything on the internal sd was there, so all the latest titaniumbackup was there. So I copied this to the PC, did a factory reset, flashed CF-root again, copied the titaniumbackup and clockworkmod-backup to the internal sd, and cwm-backup is beeing restored as we speak. Then titaniumbackup will be restored and everything should be fine for now.
I'll be leaving for holiday in a week, so I don't want to use lots of time right now to do a clean setup of the phone. There is way too much other things I have spend my time on before the holiday. But after the holiday I think I'll just have to do so.
Thanks for helping.
For your apps who crash you have to wipe apps data (with TB).
The apps crashing when I just reflashed didn't really matter since I was going to install the backup anyway.
But a few apps kept crashing even after I flashed the backup. So wipe app data was what I eventually found out I had to do.
And so the same thing happened again.
But this time it doesn't seem like reflashing will help at all.
Crappy trashphone, it's been a disaster rom day one.

The phone won't boot, and won't go into recovery mode, only download mode.
When I turn it on the boot logo only shows barely, and then nothing happens, just like last time.
I've tried reflashing several times using Odin, but this time it doesn't help, phone still won't boot. I've tried both without repartition, and wit repartition (and pit).
My friend got me to put his phone on cm9 after using froyo for a long time.
The strange thing was that the method to get into recovery suddenly changed from volume up, power and home. For some reason it is now both volume buttons, home and power ..
Just thought I'd share this since your recovery should work after a kernel flash.

[Q] Repair Galaxy Note N7000 SystemUI / TouchWiz home stopped working errors?

Hello everyone,
I've been literally 12 hours searching for possible answers on how to repair my Galaxy Note N7000 which from what I've concluded, has a problem that can be easily repaired but I've found nothing but limitations when I have a go at it. It doesn't seem to be bricked as I can still access recovery mode, download mode and it effectively boots, it's only giving me errors.
Here's what happened:
1) I tried rooting it using UnlockRoot PRO. Paid the PRO version, detected the device. Later I find it says the N7000 with 4.1.2 is not compatible so the rooting process was never completed, so I rooted it using Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed and it worked just fine.
2) Everything worked fine, downloaded Andromizer to customize the phone.
3) Changed the DPI size to test it, then went to Developer Options and changed the Animation scales to 0.5 to make it all run faster.
4) Rebooted the device. Once I did, I got nothing but "SystemUI has stopped working" together with "TouchWiz home has stopped working errors".
I checked around the web and so far, what I've found (and tried) is this:
1) There seems to be a bug related to TouchWiz and the Animation Scale option (or perhaps the DPI size option in Andromizer). So I tried to do a wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode.
2) When trying the wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode, I rebooted the phone, only to find the SAME errors after I registered everything.
3) First option that came to mind was to wipe everything and immediatly reinstall the Official JellyBean 4.1.2 firmware (at this point I want to pretty much unroot the device as I didn't know it was going to give me so much trouble). When I tried that, I realized that SUDDENLY, Odin (nor Heimdall) are NOT detecting the phone in download mode. I'm guessing it's because USB Debugging is turned off but, I can't access the phone settings. It's my only logical conclusion, although it should be turned on given I could install PhilZ Custom Recovery later.
4) I search around the web and it says it's a driver problem. So I uninstall everything, run CCleaner, USBDeview to uninstall everything related to the Samsung Galaxy. Reboot. Install drivers again. Reboot. Plug booted phone and let Windows detect the device, installed successfully. Reboot in download mode. Let windows detect the device, installed successfully. Run Odin: DEVICE NOT DETECTED. (It does detect it while it's booted though, only it doesn't work for **** obviously).
I've literally tried everything. I've tried checking for a way to install the firmware via Recovery Mode instead of Download Mode. I've tried checking for a way to remotely access the device and mod the settings from there using ADB, and I get the same problem in ADB, doesn't detect the device.
Also tried to reset settings to normal via PhilZ Custom Recovery which I managed to install later.
Isn't there just a way to reset all settings to normal? Shouldn't a factory reset do this? How can I get SOMETHING to work and try to recover the phone? Any Aroma Recovery Script? Any way to mess with the system folder and modify settings manually via notepad or something since due to the SystemUI / TouchWiz home errors I can't access the phone settings?
I'm barely awake at this point. Can't believe I've stressed myself this much. Please help. This is beyond retarded.
Thank you,
Z
i had the same exact problem just few hours ago.....first of all you should boot into recovery mood by pressing vol up+ home button+lock button until samsung logo shows and then wipe all data/factory reset and wipe all cache partitions..........if that didnt fix it you should try rerooting it againg after re wiping
I read the post but it seems you have done a lot of things and nothing worked. So what is the situation right now? You can boot as normal but cannot get any icons or settings as sysUI and TW crashes?
Try installing GB ROM then wipe/cache first. If good, root GB ROM then do full wipe. Then test ROM for crashing.
If good then install JB rom and test. Let us know.
unable to enter phone setting ? then just simply look for a secsetting.apk for ur version then replace it n set the permission rw-r--r--

Bwahahah, now I see why you guys enjoy calling newcomers "noobs".
It was a computer problem. I just reinstalled JB 4.1.2 from my netbook and it worked.
Weird as hell though, given that I updated my GT-N7000 to JB 4.1.2 through Odin in this computer and it never gave me any problems.
I AM going to learn some ADB / Android SDK though. I'd rather learn everything before something like this happens to me again.
I appreciate everyone's concern, and thank you all for it.
nice to hear that you had this one fixed
Glad to hear its working now.
