Hi, I've been transferring some stuff to my galaxy s and now i'm getting this error everytime i attach the USB (USB Device not being recognized). I already reinstalled the samsung USB drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled USB root hub drivers, used a different USB port and restarted both PC and galaxy. Anyone have any idea how i can get my device to get recognized by my pc?
no one's encountered this problem before?
I get this on and off - i'm on Win 7. I tried all 4 ports and my hub and sometimes it plays ball - sometimes not.
I often find if I change the phone from 'mass storage' to 'ask on connection' it seems to improve its chances.
Worth a try.

I tried this as well including turning USB debugging on and off.. no luck though. Only thing i haven't done is format the internal SD, but I dont want to go there unless there really is no chance of fixing this. Any help you be greatly appreciated!

i recently just bought a captivate from a seller and found out mines is doing the same thing havent had no luck getting it connected to pc to mount but does charge on data cable after seeing it has been modded to froyo 2.2 rom but trying to see if any one know away to fix this.
I have an annoying problem, when I connect i9000 to PC using USB cable, only phone charging happens, other that that, nothing happens, the i9000 is not aware of USB connection and so the PC.
I've tried this on 3 PC, 2 with windows 7 64-bit, and the other with XP SP3.
I tried installing kies, samsung usb drivers, even somene in another forum gave me an update file to apply it through the recovery mode but, with no sccess.
Also tried what others said about unmounting SD card,.....connecting in debug mode,.........
All no sccess

Is the cable ok? (even if it charge), or maybe a pin damaged on your phone?

Yes I used another cable, but no success
Do you have a custom launcher installed on your i9000? I have found (experience) that KIES will not fire if you are not using the stock launcher (TWLAUNCHER). Once I switch from LauncherEX to TWLauncher, KIES will fire and I can use it, the USB Mass Storage, etc....

Thanks for your answer.
I tried this also, but didn't work for me.
BUT the issue was solved. Don't know the exact mechanism, but here's what I did.
As android is a little brother of linux, I told myself why don't you give Ubuntu a trial. So, I downloaded and installed it, then after booting in Ubuntu, I connected the phone, 1st no success but then enabled debug mode and the phone & computer identified each other
Excellent, but no ODIN or KIES for Ubuntu , little depressed, booted into Windows 7 and BINGO, the issue resolved completely.
Maybe the big brother Ubuntu, gave his little bra a push
Try cleaning port on phone
Hi, I went through similar - only ubuntu didn't work either.... I eventually read in a linux forum though about cleaning the usb port on the phone with alcohol. As was at home then and tried on windows again and BOOM! drivers like crazy...
Might try that too. My phone was only 3 months old and never really abused but it worked so what do I know.
Ubuntu or alcohol, I'm happy now that my issue was solved

You don't have to know much about ubuntu, just download it, then install it as any windows program, boot into ubuntu.
After that connect your phone to the computer, and make sure to activate debuging mode on i9000. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the cable before it works.
I also find that my PC will only recognize my phone if I reboot the i9000 right before connecting it.
Quirky, but livable.
Actually this issue is strange, and when I emailed Samsung about this problem, they asked me to install KIES
Yes My phone to only charging when connect cable nothing else happen please any help

i have the same problem and found out that my phone has to be on idle mode... how do i put my phone in idle mode? it says to close all applications and i did but still nothing... and none of the above solutions worked for me.
my phone info is this:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I9000TUBJH1
Kernel version: 2.6.29 / [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR.UBJI1
And to top it all my phone will not boot into download mode.
Guys,
I am having the same issue. This started when I upgraded my P from Win XP to Win 7. I tried the alcohol thing. I tried Ubuntu which could not recognize the phone, whatever mode (USB debug or not, media, kies or mass storage). Of course, I had tried before that to install the lastest USB drivers. I also tried Kies.
Nothing worked. Any further help ?
THanks
Hello
I have Froyo 2.2 I9000JXJPB
I used to be able to connect to PC but not any more. Im using Windows 7 64
I even tried and restored my laptop for factory condition and wiped out my galaxy.
Sometime when I connect the phone with the usb cable and PC would say unrecognized peripheral device and most of the times nothing happenes
it does not help if USB debug is checked or not
I even tried different usb ports in the laptop but nothing work
its driving me crazy
need help please
ok, put the phone in download mode and then connect it, try a USB port that connects direct to the motherboard, usually at the back of the tower.
also if that fails, try to uninstall kies and then re install it, that will re install the drivers.
then post back with the result.
EDIT: just realised your on a laptop not pc

Download and install these on your pc/laptop , your problem will be fixed
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
Before postig my question I tired uninstalling and reinstalling kies. also tried driver reinstall option from kies
I downloaded the driver separately tried installing several times but it did not help...
Installation always endup with a message Device driver was not successfully installed
Unknown device device unplugged
Unindentified device device unplugged
If i recall correctly my problems maybe was with the last update with kies
if you go into computer > device manager and then select on the 'unidentified driver' you can select uninstall.
then start the process again, and also try installing it for the 2nd time with a different port.
Hey all,
I've got a problem related to my Micro USB port (at least I think it is).
[Long story]
I've got a very annoying issue right now. Today I flashed Team ICSSGS RC4.1. Later when I connected my Galaxy S to my PC with the usb cable, no recharging icon appeared and my pc did not react to the connection at all.
Thinking it was a bug in RC4.1 (as OneCosmic RC 2.3 had the mass storage issue) I searched the ICSSGS thread, but not a single issue about mass storage mode was posted. So I flashed Devil kernel, hoping to fix it, but it didn't. Reflashed RC4.1, but problem still persisted.
I went radical and recovered a nandroid backup in CWM of ICSSGS RC3.0 (the one is was running earlier today), but somehow the recovery failed and left me with a semi-bricked phone. (Actually the 2nd time in a row when recovery semi-bricked my phone.)
Only download mode works. Recovery and normal boot bootloop.
[/Long story]
In short:
When connecting to PC to flash with Odin:
-At first the PC did not even notice the phone being connected through USB. Nothing happens.
-After blowing in the contacts of the Micro USB port, PC recognizes connection, but gives "Unknown device" error upon connecting. Reinstalling Samsung drivers does not work at all. Tested on laptop and home PC.
-Somehow I always have to blow into the Micro USB port to create contact and to get the PC to recognize a connection. But that's about it. "Unknown device" every time.
-When I plug in wall charger, the big battery icon appears, but stays grey all the time and after half a minute the phone boots, starting the bootloop.
Could it be that my Micro USB port is broken?
Any solution for this?
Thanks in advance!
I feel so stupid for recovering that nandroid backup. Otherwise my phone would still be working...
you will need the nexus drivers for your comp found here : w w w.multiupload.co.uk/BUCFT8M42 as your samsung drivers are no use now.
Thanks for your advice: Going to test it right away.
Unfortunately your link does not work for me.
I had the same problem but replacing the cable solved it.
Sorry for the duff link http://www.multiupload.co.uk/BUCFT8M42N

Tested this morning with someone else's cable, still the same issue.
Tried the Nexus driver, but still nothing. Also having troubles again to let the usb connection register. It connected after cleaning it, but now it does not seem to connect at all.
Could it be that the phone is completely busted and therefor breaks usb connection?
Haven't heard such a story yet, but is it possible?
I've got it sorted out.
Since it might be helpful for others that are searching for a solution:
1. I cleaned out my Micro-USB port using micro interdental brushes and a few drops of isopropyl alcohol. It also doesn't hurt to clean the contacts of your USB cable, just to be sure.
2. Connected the phone to my PC. This time my pc recognized it as a serial gadget.
3. Disconnected the phone and installed Nexus S driver (because of ICS rom on my Galaxy S)
Next connection my device was automatically recognized as an android phone.
Odin saw my phone as well and I could flash again!
My phone is back on Team ICSSGS RC4.2.
Thanks everyone for helping!
Same Issue cant fix
Hey guys im glad to see others are having the same issue but i cant seem to fix mine.
Assume im an idiot and ive missed something out but ill explain my situation....
Galaxy i9000 - windows 7 32bit - put ics on it a few weeks back following a guide on youtube (had never used odin or anything like that before) got it working but now have no usb comm options in the ics settings. now when i plug the usb (when it does detect at all) it says driver havent worked - device manager shows unknown device - i try update the driver and it says the best driver is already installed.
Im completely stuck and want to revert back to gingerbread so i can use my usb functions again. If i can get odin to see my phone again ill be relieved.
Any ideas?
Cheers guys! Seán.

But most of all, check your usb cable and try switching to another USB port after rebooting your PC
Hello, my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9003 was working fine yesterday, but now it stays stuck on the samsung logo when booting. I'm trying to flash it, the thing is, I can't get my computer to detect my phone, it shows up as an unkown device. I tried a factory reboot etc.. didn't work, and I can't even use it as a mass storage device since it's bricked. I used all the newest drivers, the newest version of kies but it still doesn't work.
I'm on windows 7/64 bit btw.
Thank you in advance.
Are you able to enter into download mode? (hold volume down + home + power)
If not, You can try to make (or buy) a JIG which will force download mode and you can flash a new ROM with Odin
Regards
I can enter in download mode, the thing is, my computer detects my phone as an "unknown device" and it isn't recognised by Odin either, which means I can't flash it.
are you sure the drivers are installed correctly? I recently had problems with the USB cable.. try another one and if possible, other PC....
I installed many times the drivers, using kies or without kies, the result is just the same, maybe it's the cable.
Try to change the cable and the USB port. Last week I tried to update a Motorola Atrix and the same thing happened, unknown device. Then I changed the USB Cable and voila... worked !
Let me know if it works....
Regards
just wondering if you have resolved this yet ? I have same problem tried all usb drivers i can find , 5 different computers , jig , odin still not detect and windows show unknown device detected.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA
Guys I had the same problem. After trying many pc, drivers, cables combinations I came to a conclusion that the usb port on the phone itself must be damaged. After taking a close look, I saw some of the gold contacts damaged/missing.. That might be the case with your phone aswell. Look at the pins and if yo usee some visual damage you know what the problem is. Even if you dont see it, it still might be a problem.
