[Q] SGS USB Connection Problem

Hi everyone.
I'm new on this forum and I really need your help with my SGS.
The problem I'm having is that I can't in any possible way connect SGS to my PC which is running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.My SGS is on Eclair 2.1, I9000XXJF3.
I have tried various ways on so many forums and threads to find a way to connect with no sucess.I tried using different USB ports, tried changing USB settings from Samsug Kies to Mass Storage to Media Player, tried using USB Debuging Mode, dowloaded latest version of Kies, dowloaded latest Samsung Mobile Device Drivers for Windows 7 64-bit, cleaned PC registry, tried New Samsung PC Studio, did a factory reset, formated both internal and external SD card and tried mounting and unmountig them, basicly I've tried everything .Also there is no USB conncetion notification on my SGS no matter what I do and I've tried using different USB cables too and all of the cables had 4 connectors,not 2.Interesting thing though that SGS IS CHARGING when I connect it to any USB port.Sometimes Windows does detect SGS but it allways says "Unknown Device" and when I go to manually install drivers it says that "You allready have the best drivers installed"!! .I have tried it also on other PC in my house which has Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with same results.I really do not know what to do more and I'm very frustrated because of this.
I would be very thankfull if anyone knows a sollution to this problem because I really like this phone but I can't update it if my USB connection doesn't work.
Thanks in advance..

Clean the port on the phone side with rubbing alcohol. I think in your case that is definately the issue (usually its about 1 in 10 by the time people post here). It always charges but its really sensitive for the drivers. This also causes issues at every computer you try.
Never hurts to clean it twice too.

You probably know already, but just in case,
the connection to Kies never worked with custom Launchers, like LauncherPro.
It's necessary to switch back to TwLauncher before connecting to Kies.
Home Switcher is a good app from the market to switch between launchers and set / clear the default.
(In case this helps anyone else.)

Ok,thanks, I will try cleaning it with alcohol and will post if it helps

Well,I tried cleaning with alcohol and it kinda helped.Now it conncets and there is a USB Notification on my cellphone.But my Windows still says "Unknown Device" even if I have latest version of Kies and the latest drivers.I also tried using it like Mass Storage and Media Player, and the result is same .I don't now what to do more??

Clean it again and the port on the computer. I used a pin, or you could try a toothpick, with cotton swab stuff on it. Also make sure its not bent.

it is also possible you have a dry solder joint on phone usb or micro crack in solder, this is quite common, take to service centre and get to fix if you are on warranty, dont take no for an answer

Did you try to flash froyo from samfirmware via odin? Got the same problem as you. Tried everything. Phone of my wife had a connection, for me not. Until i download froyo and upgrade the phone by myself with odin.

Well that is the problem, my computer won't recognize SGS no matter what I do, so I can't upgrade it via Odin .

I'll try cleaning the port on my computer, but I've also decided today to format my Window 7 and put in Windows 7 SP1, maybe that'll help .

Odin didnt recognize it too when your phone is in download mode? Maybe try it on another computer who got vista on it and try a older version of odin like 1.0 or 1.3.

Well, again I have tried everything to connect my SGS to a compuer with no avail.
I even formated my computer, tried on a different computer with Vista on it, and sill it's the same response from evey Windows .Cleaning the USB Ports in this case didn't help , all my other USB Devices work properly on all of the USB Ports.Maybe it has somethig to do with branding,because it's Swisscom branded?
I've run of options and really don't know what to do more

Well it's likely on the phone side. If you really want to see if it was windows then you can install ubuntu and try with heimdall but it's a bit of a learning curve. Maybe a local phone shop can examine the port for you?

You're right, because I'm too starting to think that this is a port problem on my cellphone.I'm too much of a Windows person to mess around with Ubuntu and Linux, and frankly I wouldn't know how to use them .
So the best option is, like you said to take it to a local phone repair shop

Yup, I tried installing even those drivers and still no luck.When I connect my phone to PC and Kies, the MTP Application on the phone says "Connected" but my PC doesn't recognize the phone even with newest drivers installed

What are you trying to do again?
Are you trying to flash with or just connect?
Cause mtp can be very buggy and just chuck kies. It's garbage. But I thought that you were trying to flash...
But you may want to try another rom. Did you try to see if download mode was recognized in odin?

Yes, I'm trying to flash my SGS to put new version of Android in.I'm just trying to find a way to connect it, by any means possible.
It enters download mode but odin doesn't recognize it, although I have installed correct drivers for SGS.
I presume odin can't detect it because my Windows won't detect it, and so I can't connect it in mass storage mode.

Need help guys!

I just got my Note last week. I am trying to sync my phone to laptop. But somehow, it gets stuck on "connecting". Any tips or other alternatives? Thanks in advance. I plan on rooting my phone. Thats why I need to back up my phone first. Thanks in advance!

What OS are you using? Did you install the USB drivers?

Windows. Yes I in stalled it. But somehow it says that its not properly installed. And problems may occur. I dont know the reason. I tried, reinstalling it, but still same problem. Can I sync it wirelessly?

Hi.
I had the same problem, but it worked after I unchecked the USB Debugging.
Regards

Your problem is most probably the usb debugging uncheck it and your phone is in kiesmode

Try uninstalling, downloading from the country website your phone is from. Or your csc is from. Download from the N7000 page kies. Then install and run as admin. If it doesnt connect perform the connection wizard, or connection troubleshooting. that will reinstall drivers. These steps work for me everytime.

Sorry if this is a stupid answer but I was having a lot of trouble connecting my note to the PC. I was using a cable I used for all my phones that worked fine. Someone told me to try it with the cable Samsung supplied and after that it all worked fine. I just thought it might be worth trying.

I am using the Kies usb. i already downloaded the Kies via the samsung website. And After I opened it, it says a newer version is available. So I updated. I also tried the Kies air, I can see the apps on my phone, but I seem cant find where is the sync button for me to make a back up for my phone. How do i use Kies wifi? Sorry again for these noob questions. First time to use android phones. Thanks again!

Kies Air doesn't do that. The main (PC) KIES app does. But, even if you connect through KIES, it will only allow you to back up things like contacts, photos, ringtones etc. It won't be a full backup of your system.
What can help if KIES doesn't see your phone:
1. Installing the latest version of KIES (which you already did)
2. Making sure your phone is in the MTP (not USB memory) mode. It should be as a default, unless you actually click on "USB memory" button when connecting to PC
3. Unchecking "USB debugging"
4. Running the connection repair wizard in KIES (I have a local language version, so I don't know the exact English name) - this reinstalls drivers - and then connecting again.
5. Trying a different USB port or cable
6. Rebooting both the phone and computer
If all fails, then probably this is a problem with Windows drivers. Repairing this would require a bit of expertise and involves booting Windows in safe mode, checking which devices and drivers are actually installed and removing any that seem suspicious. If you have never done that, an easier option would be installing KIES on another computer and doing the backup there.
Theoretically, running the connection repair wizard in KIES should clean and reinstall the right drivers for your phone, but in practice this doesn't always work as it should.

I9001 problem

My SGS+ runs on 2.3.5
when I connect USB cable it charges but WINXP won't recognize it .... tried on different machines ... reinstalled drivers (Kies drivers and Nexus )
still the same
Any suggestions ?
even tried tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
Nothing helps

Maybe your usb cable is broken?

first of all. wrong post. you need to post you questions in the q&a forum.
second: go to settings, connections, usb-connection. there are three options: kies, mediaplayer and mass storage. choose kies if you want to connect with kies. be sure to have usb-debugging turned off (in settings, go to development at the bottom)
hit thanks if i helped

After several failure attempts definitely 95% sure USB connector is broken.
By the way i have stock firmware 2.3.5 rooted, remowed CWM before USB connector broke so only thing is to unroot and do factory reset
I think that might be enough for mobile company to repair it !
Thanks everyone for help !!

Stuck on "phone..!..computer"...tried it all!

Long story short...after bootlooping my phone trying to flash it, I was able to get it into download mode after A LOT of trying button/time/etc...combos. Used Odin one click, reset phone, it booted up and all looked well. Powered down phone, tried to power back on and I get the "connecting" screen. I've literally looked these (and other) forums up and down for HOURS AND HOURS.
Tried all the possible 3 button combos I've read about...no dice, continues to go into "connecting", so after MANY attempts, I broke down and made a home made jig. Didn't work either. Thought I may have did it wrong, so I ordered one...nope, still no luck. Thought maybe it was bad...ordered a 2nd one from different person...and wham...NOTHING. Returning it or anything is completely out of the question, (another long story), so I'm stuck with a phone that doesn't work and am out of options.
Is there ANY known ways to fix this considering all I've tried? Ready to explode from trying so long lol.

What rom were you trying to flash? If it was an ics build you might need the nexus USB drivers for odin to recognize your device. Also to use hemdall you have to use a different USB port than what you normally use for Odin. Both Odin and hemdall kinda claim that port once its used by that particular program..

Bit of an update...
Left phone sitting overnight with USB connected to it and computer with the phone/computer screen showing. Stuck jig in, did a weird combo with another jig (2 jigs combined with both on 4/5 and 1 resistor)...did nothing. Plugged back into computer and for the FIRST time, I got a message from windows saying that it didn't recognize the device...IE...it finally atleast recognized the phone. Tried opening Odin and Hemdal just to see if they would pick it up...neither did. So after trying to install the drivers again (did sucessfully, but didn't recognize phone), I unplugged phone and repeated the entire process down to the letter...and nothing again. 2nd time, computer didn't recognize phone being plugged in.
Thought maybe this would give some more info...sooooooo wanting to get this fixed.

I've tried the Nexus drivers from Samsung site if that's what you mean...same result.

I had the same problem with my captivate, the heimdall drivers conflict with the Samsung ones. download the generic Samsung drivers, run the program and install it, then open up Odin, plug the phone in while it's on the triangle-!-computer screen. Should recognize it.

Well, haven't removed ALL of the drivers, but I have tried 2 other computers that have never had any of the drivers on them and windows doesn't pick up the phone to ask for drivers so I manually put Samsung ones on...still nothing.

Tried that and still does not connect a thing. It was working fine other day. I'm running a scan to see if I have a virus cause it makes no sence at all.

I had the same issue the other day.. when i tried to connect the note to pc.. the MTP driver was failing and neither pc or kies was detecting the phone... but this happened to me when once i changed the usb utilities setting to connect it as a mass storage device... it connected as mass storage but later it wouldnt connect as media device. tried all sort of things like reinstalling drivers , kies.. tried on a diff pc... still dont work...
later i concluded that it was the phone and did a nandroid backup and then it worked....

All I want to do is drop a rom on my internal sdcard hehe. Everytime I connect phone I get "Windows needs to install driver software for your Samsung Android.
Now I have a backup which I done afew hours ago but I'm sure that won't work? And what are the steps. I'm confused

If its just that try going into settings > More... > USB utilities > Connect storage to PC

Okay I went into storage and then double clicked that thing that said MTP and checked it and now my storage popped up! Grrrrrrr after all of that. Something so simple.
Thanks for the help guys

it can be many different things, trial and error, lol

Having the same problem with my note since updated kies 3 or 4 days ago. Read somewhere that using the solve connection problem from kies and then unppluging the pc from internet to connect de phone solves the problem though i didn't tried it. The problem is the new driver that came with the latest version of kies, shoud you get the previous drivers all with work again.

Hi @islandmixed,
You sir, are a LEGEND!!!!
Summit happened to my N7000 months ago... And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what had happened... I went through everything, followed many guides, tried many PCs and nothing....
Apart from wiping the ROM and starting again (which I didnt want to do, as all is working fine otherwise) I was at a loss....
Your answer here was spot on, and now shows up in Windows again....
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
