USB not working but system is alive - how to flash?

Hey guys,
I got a SGS I9000 here from a friend of mine who got it from egay (stupid, but nvm) and I try to fix the device but till now I was not lucky.
I want to upgrade to a newer / higher version but the "faulty" USB makes it very difficult.
Here are the facts:
- The device is running 2.3.3 Gingerbread
- Device Information: GT-I9000HKYDBT + PDA: I9000XWJVI , PHONE: I9000XXJVO, CSC: I9000DBTJV2
- Charging via USB does work, data connection does not work
- Entering Recovery Mode works
- CWM is not installed
- Samsung Kies is installed
- Entering Download Mode works
- External micro-SD Cards are being recognized at Android
- If I connect the device in Windows or Download Mode, the message "USB-Device was not recognized" comes up
What I`ve tried till now:
- three different micro-USB cables (original Samsung, HTC and Motorola)
- two different PCs with Kies installed and not installed
- Tried to flash via Recovery Mode but nothing is shown on the "external SD", even after renaming to update.zip
- Managed to copy files into internal flash but since the "original" Recovery Mode seems to have a verification, the flash process aborts either with
"E:signature verification failed" or "E:failed to verify whole-file signature"
- Odin of course but USB data does not work unfortunately so Odin as well
So the big question for me is:
Is there ANY chance to root/flash the device with the actual difficulties?
Any help or hints are highly appreciated.
Cheers

you may have to try all these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 But first break that cycle by removing battery and reinsert after a few min and check phone connection or Mobile Odin is another option

email the recovery file to yourself or upload to dropbox. then download to your phone and flash away!

Don't forget to thoroughly clean your micro usb connector. I once had the same issue with my sgs. Different cables or drivers didn't work. I was about to give up on it, but then fixed it by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and very tiny dentaid toothbrushes.
Afterwards it worked like a charm. Worth giving a shot, since these connectors collect a lot of dust/dirt over time.

Thanks for your fast reply.
I did mention this thread yesterday but after installing all different drivers, switching of the PC completely and disconnecting all devices, turning BT ON/OFF, switching between Dev Mode and MSD I'm at the same position as before.
Doesn't matter which cable I use, I just get always the same fking message about Device is not being recognized.
In the meantime, I got a 2nd SGS from a friend of mine which works perfectly after connecting the device with my PC.
It starts immediately with the driver installation and is ready in couple of seconds.
I also tried to put the cable carefully into the USB but it doesn't help either.
Any other suggestions?

That would mean, its your USB slot on the phone, that needs a solution, either you have to examine it very closely for damage to resolve it or its internal and you may have to change it.

hey
can u do to download mode??
if u can then upgrade using Odin...
And the uUSB issues cam with my SGS too,but after flashing the firwmare via odin there was no issues...i flashed 2.3.6 ValuePack..
U too can give it a shot..

Well, as told above, I can enter download mode but USB DATA connection does not work!
So from my understanding, Odin only works if there's a valid connection, otherwise I could flash anything and would not have the problem
Mobile Odin does not work due to the root restriction.
Is there any way to flash another ROM or get the the device rooted with these restrictions?

Stuck on First Screen
Well this is not an answer to the problem. Well am having the same problem as you, just mine is more complicated.
I managed to root using Z4root by copying the APK file on external sd .
I got cmw and entered recovery.
I updated using the CM10-unofficial rom that is in the development forum
I restored the nand that i did in recovery and now the phone is frozen (Stuck) on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)
Now I can go to Download mode but I can't go to recovery mode.
Let me remind you that my USB data connection is not working.
So now I am looking for a solution that would permit me to flash without USB or allow me to go to recovery mode.
Or a tutorial on how to change the usb port myself.
Thanks in advance.

As long as you can get to download mode, flashing should solve your problem after you resolve the USB problem , which can be due a number of issues.
Somehow ROM changes and bad flashes, may have pin configuration changes on the phone, (just like changes in combo key functions when you use different ROM) ...so driver changes works for some
So you may have to try all these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 options to get your USB connection back. But first break that cycle by removing battery and reinsert after a few min and check phone connection , and try those options.

Sorry to repeat my comment again, but if all these drivers aren't working for you, you should check your micro-usb connector. I'm pretty sure the connector is the issue here.
Have you tried cleaning the micro-usb connector on your phone? Don't just blow the dust out or clean it a bit with some paper, but go for a complete and thorough cleaning solution.
Get yourself some dentaid toothbrushes. Get a few sizes. You can get these at your local pharmacy.

Get some Cleaning / Rubbing Alcohol. You can find this at a handyman store or your local pharmacy should have this as well.
Dip the toothbrush with some rubbing alcohol. The toothbrush should be a bit moist but not dripping wet.
Start cleaning the connector. You can apply some pressure to clean everything.
If this doesn't work, no harm done. These things are quite cheap and rubbing alcohol and these dentaid toothbrushes come in handy when other electronics go bust.
Honestly, just try it! People always dismiss this solution attempt as a last resort but it's usually the problem fixer.

I fixed mine that had the same problem with a similar technique

NVFlash stuck at 'NVflash started'

Hello, I managed to kill my phone trying to flash a new recovery. It didn't boot anymore and was stuck at the LG screen.
So I tried to flash the stock ROM using NVFlash. I did everything as the tutorial told me to (plug phone in with volume keys pressed, installed drivers correctly et cetera) but when I executed flash.bat, a CMD window openend and it says "NVflash started" for like 30 minutes without doing anything.
It looks like this:

Maybe some important information about my phone:

try to unplug and plugin again your cable usb and HH make sure using the original LG cable

I haven't received any original LG cable with my phone. I am using a normal USB to micro USB cable which worked fine. What difference does the cable make?
I tried unplugging and pluggin my phone back in 10 times now, didn't help. Getting a little nervous here.

I have absolutely no clue what I have done but it just worked... Haven't done anything different. I simply plugged the phone back in and started flash.bat, as 15 times before. This time it worked. Maybe I got extreme good luck or extreme bad luck. Either way, I am sorry I cannot provide help for anyone in the future who has the same problem except spam that goddamn flash.bat till it works.

Might be because only ONE NVFlash command can be issued per connection. If for example you run NVFlash --sync first, then you need to unplug and replug it in APX mode before you can run the actual NVFlash command. Caused me a lot of frustration the first time I tried it.

Thank you very much Trym, I was stuck at exact this point and I used NVFlash --sync everytime to check if my phone is really connected! Now it worked perfectly. Thanks!

(wired question) What version of windows do you run? 64-bit or 32-bit? I couldn´t open the NVflash.exe file with win7 64-bit to test it (NVflash --sync) after installing APX drivers. The command window just flash-opens and closes..
thanks

Read the instructions once again. You must open windows cmd and navigate to directory where you have NVFlash.exe. Dont double clikc NVFlash, it will close immediately.
In windows type cmd, navigate with cd command to directory where you have NVflash.exe and type nvflash --sync.
It doesn't matter if you have 32 or 64 bit w7.

Yeah, or run the .bat file...

I have got my phone flashed with nvflash now. I have no idea what nvflash is for though, and no idea what to do further. My phone was in a boot-loop due to having cwm recovery for G2X when I have an O2X. What are the next steps to having a functional phone, preferably a custom ROM such as DjangoManouche or Temasek cm7 if not stock? I cannot find any tutorial when I'm searching, and everything in this place is buried in ICS stuff...

[Q][Urgent]Accidently formated system in recovery

*place random facepalm here*

just flash another rom man .u just wiped your entire system .There is nothing in it now flash a stock rom via ODIN !!

Can't. If i can i won't be asking it here. Like i said my phone can't connect to my pc. Plus the usb utilities option in Setting/wireless connection didn't do sh!t. Its "Not" a faulty micro usb port, coz its charging. So i must be missing the "usb driver installer" from within the phone.
So can anybody plsz upload the usb driver from thier phone for me?? That'd be much appreciate. Plz help me out here. I use that function everyday at my work. So its crucial to get that usb/pc connection feature. Plzzz....
Regards,
Sdojoin

First of all, formatting system has nothing to do with USB-PC connection.
Your USB cable is f. up, change it and see if works.
Flash a custom rom that u have on SD card(If u have one), untill you buy a new cable.

The cable f up?? But its charging though.. How come it won't connect to my pc?? I got 3 cable & all of them works fine with my X-Play. Erm.. I'm really confused bout this problem. Meh...:banghead:

Dude If you have a flash able ROM then just take out the memory card from the phone put it in card reader, connect with PC, copy ROM zip file into the card.
Put back card into the phone, boot into cwm recovery, flash the ROM and u will get the working ace again.

just some (hopefully) stupid sidenotes:
you have activated Mass storage in phone, after connecting to PC, did you?
and you pluged it into a USB slot and didnt smash it into some other slot?
ou do have a SD card IN!!!!! the device? and its "seen" by the device?
you DO NOT try to access an extX partition with windows?
your PC and your Phone is turned on, both running without problems and working powersupply?
you flashed the correct ROM for our device? S5830 not S583Xx?
you DO have a fat partition on your SD card?
most questions are just stupid, but you would be surprised what you get to hear at helpdesk hotlines XD

I've tried every posible option that i can think of & find through all over the web but none solve it. Mybe it got to be a problem with the micro usb port. Mybe i'll just take it for a replace & see if it fix the problem.
Anyway, thanks guys for all ur comment, opinion, suggestion & jokes. It really does help me learn bout this phone a bit more.

Sdojoin

can you acess download mode? if yes then flash a rom via odin (odin flshable packages contain system)
if not, then i dunno.

Yeah, but the odin won't detect the phone. Its probably micro usb port problem. Imma take it to a repair & see how it goes.

Get Samsung USB drivers from here.
I use these drivers for my phone. and check whether your phone is detected by linux or not because windows sucks when it comes to detect hardware.
Moreover if you are able to charge your phone via usb then neither your mini usb port is damaged nor data cable.
use this command in linux terminal to detect all the devices attached to the usb
command is: lsusb.
hope this will help.

A'ight. I giv it a shot. Fyi, i already got the same driver. Mybe i'll try that command. Thanks for hint.
Regards,
Sdojoin

1st of all ... in recovery u can only acess the sd card its in mount / mount usb storage
2nd to flash stock rom you'll need to put it in download mode ( Search )

Dude i know all of that & thats not my problem is. Meh...:banghead:

now its back to usb not recognized, the usb must be stuffed i guess, all my phones work no problem
dammit, i thought running a RUU might help, but i cant get it connected
i mean the phone works, just doesnt want to mount usb storage

Solution fixed
FIXED IT, as i said the usb randomly would work sometimes for a brief period and stop again, in the brief period (dat short time span) i managed to get into fastboot (normally it would say AC) but it said USB, amazing luck, i managed to flash HTC STOCK RECOVERY
than i downloaded the 4.3 update within the phone, updated my phone, and now it WORKS
something must have been corrupted in my system

Lucky b****d !
I can't do that, but trough airdroid (wifi) I can manage to copy things on my phone. The problem is that if this method doesn't work for me I will be unable to get it back as it is now, and besides USB everything works perfectly
I think the recovery can be flashed trough terminal emulator without PC, but then how to install the rom?

Mine is not even recognized in the device Manager. i tried using different usb cables, clean the ports, nothing happens. I also tried updating the OS to Lollipop but still USB is not recognized by the computer. Any other options?

I have the same issue. I don't know what it is or why but God it is frustrating.

usb not recognized
Turn off the phone and thoroughly clean the port on it. I've seen it happen quite a lot, fluff just gets compacted and stuck and breaks contact with enough pins to cause this.

I managed to get root and flash recovery, then I flashed a ROM. I figured out that i can use Mobile Odin instead of PC Odin, but i still need to fix that qualcomm usb driver error (I may go to a service today)... :fingers-crossed:
