newbie to GT-i9000M - can't connect to Kies

Hi to everybody!
I got used i9000M (Canadian) for my daughter (I have LG 3D so not really newbie to Android). It's in factory default state with 2.2 Android.
I tried to update system using Kies but have problem connecting my phone to PC. If I just boot phone up my Win 7 can see it (but not kies). I enable USB debug and Kies says something like "mode is not compatable". Should I untick USB debug and enabler KIES mode under Wireless?
But once I unplug it and plug back I get error 43:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I read and read and read... I'm ready to try odin but I don't know what exact ROM fits my SG... Also lots of stuff is connected to megaupload...
Thanks for any links in advance!

There is an option on Kies to reinstall drivers. I would suggest trying that. But above all, I would advise on rooting the phone and installing a custom ICS rom, like SlimICS. It will add tons of features and make your phone faster while conserving battery life. If you want to transfer files, just plug your phone in, and enable USB Mass Storage mode and you can just drag and drop files like you do with normal flash drives.

Thanks for reply! But here is the strange thing :
If I set USB debugging mode on the phone, my PC sees it with no problem and I see two devices in Device Manager under Portable (and they are identified as Samsung ...) But in this mode Kies doesn't connect - I get message like "unable to connect, switch phone to Kies mode ".
But once I turn debugging off, turn Kies mode on and connect the phone, my PC sees only one device and it's in USB group (in Device Manager). And now I get error 43...
So I think it's not the physical connector (otherwise I would not be able to connect at all) but rather old system - 2.2
I'll try to update it with Odin and let you guys know the result.

You should instal SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones from here
Also try different usb port or computer. Make sure to kill all Kies processes when you using Odin.

Thanks for help - still no luck
Guys, thanks for help! I really appreciate it!
I installed SlimICS - phone running nice. But my both computers (XP and Win7) give me errors...
Funny part is - Odin works perfectly and I can see my phone in Device Manager with no problem!
Anyway, it's not REALLY big problem, rather inconvenience.
I don't know if it matters, but I also noticed that my AC charger for LG doesn't charge i9000. Weird? Do they have different pinout?
Thanks again.

It's me again
Just for fun connected the phone to old Toshiba laptop at work with win XP, without installing any Samsung drivers and ... And Toshiba recognized phone and showed me two drives - internal and SD!!!
My home computers still giving me grief... Both systems (xp and wib7) stubbornly don't want to install drivers! They put some Microsoft driver from 2007...
I'll keep fighting (installed Kies several times, just drivers - couple versions...)

LG Optimus black P970 USB Bricked

Please can someone help me, I have an LG P970 but the USB port seems to be bricked. The phone charges when connected to the computer but nothing else. When connecting the phone to the computer, the computer does not see the phone and the phone does not come up with any usb connection mode.
For this reason I rooted my phone and updated it to the latest version of Zeus rom, but this didn't fix the problem. The phone still just charges on the computer but that's all it does.
I think the phone USB drivers are faulty or need resetting. Is there any software APK I can download to fix my phone.
Thanks for any help.

lol.Man.You reboot intro recovery -> mount and storage -mount usb(you don't unmount).
You must have the phone conected to pc via usb.Then you will able to acces your sd card

To me it seems more like a driver issue more than your phone usb not working, try installing the latest drivers as DaemonOnx said

The problem is that when I go into '>> mounts and storage' the only option available to me is - unmount. There is no 'mount usb option'
By default I select unmount - to which as you say nothing happens.
Happy to try further options if you have any?

Hi thanks for this. However, the link to the usb drivers is broken. I have installed the usb drivers from the lg website and I know they work fine because I have now tried connect a friend's LG optimus black to my computer and the computer and phone both recognise each other. So I know it's not the usb cable or usb drivers on the PC. I have also installed the LG usb drivers on my laptop and spare computer, however again I have the same problem - phone only charges.
When this problem initially occured about a year ago I sent the phone back to LG and they did some sort of software refresh, which solved the connection problem for a few months, but then things went back to the way they were. I then thought it may be a PC issue so I downloaded drivers and connected my phone to the laptop and everything worked well. However, again, a few weeks later, things reverted back to the same problem. The phone only charges on both PC and laptop now.
Hope you can understand my frustration.

Someone must know something out there? How do I fix this stupid USB problem?

LG service center? you've pretty much tried all I would've

Last time I took the phone there, I was told it might have been the phone port software corrupted. Whatever that mean. If I can't find a fix to this I will need to somehow unroot the phone and try to get it back in its unrooted state to LG (not sure if that is possible) else they probably won't fix it.
I'll keep looking,
thanks for your help.

You are using the the proper usb cord. I know I have a couple. The one will charge only.

Yes I am using original cables, I have three of them. They all work on my Friend's OB but not on mine. I am convinced it's a phone software issue. This has happened with three different computers - when you first install LG software on the computer, the phone connects okay for a few weeks and then loses connection, and I can never get it connected again.
When LG refreshed the phone software for me the phone worked properly for a little while and then reverted back to charging mode only.
I need a way of reinstalling the USB software or port software onto the phone itself via some type of APK if such a thing exists.
Maybe a developer here can develop one???

hey man
if you have disabled the "android platform usb modem" in peripherals manager, enable it first (phone must be plugged)

this means it must be the result of an intervention by a third party thing, by yourself, or another program. If you have a kind of a software which manages ports or consumption (on phone as well as on Win), uninstall them, then uninstall all LG drivers, reboot, then reinstall them. if that doesn't solve your issue, you may have to reinstall windows. that's radical, but it should do it

Try connecting the usb while doing pressure between the LG logo on screen and the back of the phone, like squeezing something . I had this issue and it was an internal connector issue....
Check if you hear the "tada" sound in windows or any message about a new device.

Hi, thanks for this, I'm not sure what you mean by "disabled the "android platform usb modem" in peripherals manager". I am using XP. I have had a look to see if there is any software remotely associated with port consumption etc and have uninstalled these and also reinstalled LG drivers. But situation is still the same.
Please note: I have an LG GT540 and this connects fine to the computer. I have also connected another LG optimus black and this also connects fine to the computer. On the basis of deduction, it must be a phone issue, somehow interacts with the computer fine and then fails after a little while. Also I haven't installed anything on the phone itself which might manage consumption or port. The computer has a usb host controller but not sure that means anything useful.
I do agree and have feeling that if I reinstall windows I bet the phone would start working again, possibly again for a few months. This means I reinstall windows on my pc and laptop and hope it all resolves without actually getting to the bottom of the problem.
What I need is another laptop to try this on. If I try another computer or laptop and it recognises the phone. What do I make of everything??? Any ideas.
ps also tried holding pinching usb lg cable as suggested but nothing different.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Further update to this, I installed LG drivers on a fresh dell laptop. Again nothing happened, the phone only charges. I am even more convinced that phone software is corrupt. How do I reinitialise phone USB software?? If there is such a thing.

Use a usb on the backside, with original cable if nothing else works. Launch Odin. Put phone in download and connect cable.

Did you enable usb debugging??

Usb debug doesnt matter. Download mode works either way. If you cant boot normal to activate it, you can still flash new fw through Odin.
Open task manager and kill all process with kies and try again.
Sometimes they interfere each other.

i killed 2 process with kies but again nothing happens.
the odin can recognize phone when is turn on but if is in download mode the odin cannot recognize phone.

Or exit any Anti–virus software you may have as well.

How should this matter at all? What are fake usb cables? USB 1.0 to 2.0 has the same standard - a set of to wires that hast to handle 5V+ (and max 1.8A with dedicated chargers, if you use USB 2.0 and especially MicroUSB-B slot on the 2nd side) and ground, and 2 wires for data (+ Data and - Data). Micro-USB has another 5th wire to check, if host or slave connection method is used. Technically all USB cables are interchangable.

Yes, in theory they're all the same but they do come in different qualities and it's a well known fact that changing usb-cable can be the differens for a successful flash.

In that case I had the luck to use only good cables, I never had any problem besides cases, where the cable was broken, so the contacts were not always closed. But this was a problem with normal USB connection, too, so I got rid of it anyway.

U think so but its has diff quality so u need to use original cables use and see what I really mean

GT-N7000 Usb Bricked !

I have been trying to find a solution for my usb bricked GT-N7000
I have rooted my stock GB rom and flashed a custom ICS rom which i cant remember since its been a long time.
I have wiped the rom too but after all the process phone was working flawlessly,
After a few months, i couldnt connect it to my laptop.
What i have done so far to fix,
1) Cleaned ports, no luck
2) flashed stock gb and ics roms, many other custom roms via mobile odin and cwm, no luck.
3) Checked eMMC bug threads and tried to look for a bad sector on my phone but all sectors were fine.
4) Tried to connect vie ADB but cant seem to get it working except wifi connection...
5) CWM can mount usb storage no matter which version i try.
6) Download mode doesnt trigger odin, despite the fact that i tried several usb cables on different pc's.
7) Factory reset, no luck.
8) Replaced the usb port, tried jig but no matter what i do, this cant seem to connect pc.
When I connect my Phone to the Computer via USB cable, my phone start charging and nothing else happens. My computer does not even show that I connected a USB device ( USB Debugging On / Off )
I would really appreciate if anyone can assist me about this brick-saga.
I know that this is a quite long post but i tried to be in details as much as possible.

[Q] Problem with connecting LG P970 to PC

Hello people
I'm new here, in terms of asking questions and seeking help
I have the LG Optimus P970
A few days ago I made ​​the update to ICS, and by proceeding with this page, hackmyandroid.com/optimus-black-p970-official-ics-update/3299
After that, not impossible to connect the phone to a PC, even the software update mode, it can not recognize, anyway to connect it just throws a slow charging.
Is there someone who knows what it is.
I'd love to go back to the old software, but there is no way to detect it pc
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance

I forgot to say, before the update, and my computer still recognize the phone, connecting it over sony usb cable, now it is no longer recognized by the Sony USB cable, and I do not have original LG USB cable.
Perhaps this is the reason why a computer will not recognize the phone

I have the original cable, but still the same problem.
I have all drivers installed, I can transfer files between the phone and the pc, I can use the LG suite,
But I can't see my phone on the ADB console, I can't use smartflashtool cause the phone isn't recoginized.

yesterday I tried with lg cable, and wall charger, in both cases, said slow charging the battery, I tried on three different computers, I tried to reinstall the drivers, like the software blocked communication with the phone, just charge the battery.
If there was a way to put the software through SD card, it might solve the problem.
even the software update mode, the computer does not see the phone

Bro! For the softwaretool like smartflash, You need to boot into download mode i.e., You need to switch off the phone, plug in the USB cable connected to the PC and instantly press the volume up button. Then the tool will recognise Your phone. Try it and check once!

I tried it, nothing happens,
I go to download mode, but computer does not recognize it again
behaves as if the port is destroyed

Try to boot your PC with disabled driver signatures, or use a 32bit windows system.
try entering download-mode the following way:
disconnect your phone from pc
remove battery
press and hold Vol-up
connect the usb-cable (still without battery)
Now the phone should be detected as a serial-cable device an you can use the smart flash tool.

would have to be sound,
no sound when I connect the phone to the PC

Solved my problem.
Seems like windows automatically installs driver to the phone, but it partially works.
Unistall all drivers for the phone, or try on a new computer.
Plug the phone and cancel the driver search by windows
Install drivers for LG (unplug the phone before)
Turn it off
Plug the cable and enter download mode
And there is the phone recognized on smartflashtool.
I'm flashing a new one right now, thank you.

You do not understand the problem
there's no sign, no sound when I connect the phone to a computer, any computer, drivers were or were not.
As if something in the phone blocked communication between the PC and phone

Connection Problem with Mackay 2.999
Hey Guys,
first of all, sorry for my not so good English
I'am at Mackay 2.999 with last Kernel of his build and can't connect the Phone to the Computer.
It only install the LGE Mobile Composite USB Device, the LGE Mobile USB Serial Port and the LGE Mobile USB Modem on connecting to the Workstation.
I had test it on many Computers but the Problem is all the same: I can't get on my Memory or ADB.
I also had testet all modes under the setting point (MTP/PTP/mass storage device) and with debbuging on and off.
On my Workstation is the Last Version of ADB (1.0.31) installed.
Did anyone know the problem?

Did no one know a result to this problem

Hmmm my PC also can't read my storage what I did is go to cwm and plugged in usb cable and pressed mount storage it seems to solve my problem. I also did a cache and dalvik cache wipe.

Hey, I have found the result to this problem. You must flash another Baseband. Use from Nooby the V30 Baseband and it is solved.
