One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned

WTH?!?!?! A few days ago I had a problem with AS 4.5, which I managed to solve, and now this??? Why does bad stuff happen to me anyway?
I don't know the cause of this problem. When I plugged my XDA II this message pops up. =(
I tried Hard Resetting and Reinstalling AS 4.5 but it didn't work (GRRRR)
I'm guessing a driver error/corruption within my PC. Any suggestions??
(I haven't tried connecting my PPC with another PC, YET)

had same prob
just copy the serialusbfn.dll into your windows dir on ppc and all is sorted

the solution you have there is something I already posted. (refers to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1646178#post1646178)
this is an entirely different problem =(
thanks for trying to help though =D

very simple..happens with me alot of times...just soft reset ur ppc or restart ur PC..and voila it works..also make sure its connected directly to ur pc's usb port

i did that many times and still it fails to work.. I reset both my PPC and my PC.. =(
and by directly, do u mean directly as in without a cradle? or directly without using USB splitters, extension, etc...
if the latter, I don't have USB extension cords etc...
if the former, I connect it via a cradle.

hm..i use a USB cable..so i cant really tell

Maybe your pocket pc 's bottom connector is broken. Have you tried using "WM5Storage" and putting your XDA II on its craddle to see if it gets connected as a usb mass storage device ? If it doesn't, you should maybe look if the connector is still soldered to the main board. Mine isn't anymore, and my XDA II can only charge.

Yeah nathrinder could be right..caz mine was also broken *just remebered after reading nathrinders post

I'm also thinking of the possibility that either the bottom connector or the cradle is broken, but I really can't conclude yet until I try connecting this thing to another PC and see if it works.
May I ask what is that WM5Storage?
THANK YOU!

Wm5torage is a software which makes ur ppc a card reader and when u insert a card in the device..it gets detected in ur Computer.....its just like Softkick II or sum thing like that.....search around the forum for it

usb connection problem

hey guys i have a usb connection problem with my galaxy note.. whenever i connect my phone to my pc the usb connection icon doesnt appear neither any message shows up on the pc, the only thing it does is charge the phone , i even used differnt usb , tried reflashing the rom , thoough im using a custom rom , but no success, but there is one thing when i phone is connected to the pc and during that interval i restart the phone a message appears on the pc at the boot screen ...unrecocnized device connected, as soon as phone proceeds it too disappears.....if you guys know anything about this kindly help me out.....i have to pull my sd card every time i need to put something in my phone

It's possibly due to condensation on micro USB port of your mobile. Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and keeping your phone under the sun or in dehumidifier.

abhjit could be right but if you check on all custom rom threads people are having problems with usb connection
the latest ics releases of samsung ( even JB i believe, not sure tho ) have this problem plus full root problem,

Remove driver in windows then use usb it should auto load correct driver

Just clean it as is. You might be able to see the problem, but you will need a good magnifying glass or loop to see it.
I took some photos I found on the web of a dirty port and colored in the contamination I found on mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25102882&postcount=18

I have the exact same problem. My device doesn't get recognised by windows 7. It doesn't ask me if I want to use the phone as a pendrive. When plugged in, it only charges the phone. Sometimes the phone does not even realise that it has been plugged in at all. I dont think that its a problem with the pins because I have tried using an OTG and been able to connect to an external hard drive and copy files. Also I have been able to use PC Odin and flash a stock rom using a usb cable. This makes me think that all the pins are fine, and that its a software problem. Something has got glitched and not getting un-glitched lol!
Current Rom is the here

one thing you can try.. is to completely uninstall KIES off and remove all samsung usb drivers off your computer. When I say completely uninstall Kies, I mean totally removing it, from your system registry files and including Samsung folders that you can find in Program files or in program files x86..
After that, restart your computer and reinstall Kies and/or all samsung adb /usb drivers again.
Don't forget as well to plug your usb cable at the back of your PC since mostly USB ports coming from the back of it has strong usb signals than the ones at the front.
Hope this helps.
Don't forget to hit me up a 'Thank' if I've helped you some way or the other.
Cheers!

isolate the issue first...get another usb cable, and if you have another computer (aside from the one your normally using at), try to plug your phone on that computer and see if that pc will detect your phone.
If not still, then that's the time you can already consider that your phone might be the one having the issue.

Well I guess, that would prove the point that it could be your phone that might be having the issue bud. After all, you tried different options already but still came up with the same issue.
I'd suggest you may need to take your phone to SSC and have them check it.

thank you all for your support friends ...i have been able to repair it...i opened the cell phone thoroughly cleaned the usb module and reattached the connection cables after detaching and voila...thank God... :laugh:

[Q] USB charges off PC, but doesn't connect in mass storage mode

So this seems to be the same problem lot of people are facing and solving it by various means... Here is a list of things I have tried, but still not working -
1. connect to PC after selecting "connect to pc" in settings > more > usb connection
2. revert to stock rom and stock kernel using mobile odin and try to do (1)
3. restore nandroid from 2 months ago when it was working
4. cleaning with qtip (dry)
5. tried usb switcher app
6. tried newest jb 4.1.2 from eyebee's thread.
Any thing that I left out other than service center?

Usb Fix
I fixed two other Notes and a SII by this simple method:
Look into the microusb connector on your phone, and see if the pin in the middle is centered. If not, bend it straight (Carefully!).
Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but it seems people just slam the usb connector into the slot, bending it down... This causes the phone to charge but not to see the usb connection.
Hope this helps.

Checked... Its straight, but its placed at 2/3rd towards bottom - Not bent, but is placement itself is at 2/3rds..
Tried to bend it towards top, didn't workout...
What next?

By default its placed a bit down and forcefully bending it may damage the usb port and then you cant even charge it

Thankfully its still charging...

Hmm.. Something new you taught me, but didn't work.. Am I supposed to go "into" that mount usb storage screen and connect after I am in that "if you leave this page, we'll unmount" screen or before entering that screen?
Edit -
Never mind, tried both, both failed to work. I assume if it was working, I would have heard a beep from my laptop at least.. It didn't find any new device in both cases.

try using new cable. or borrow your friend's cable see if its working. its the basic to check thing but many forgotten.

Tried in office today.. No cable works... Tried 3 cables, one aftermarket one, one is of note's, one from nokia 5800 xpress music...
Didn't workout. All charges. No storage

you installed stock rom.. but didnt work..... so then it is not the firmware
you tried diff cable....but didnt work.. so then it is not the cable.
so then it must be your phone..
can it connect to mtp?

this may sound funny but it worked for me. take out the battery and the sd card. leave it out for a couple minutes. then reboot

You might be on to something here - It says Charging (USB) even if connected to wall socket! Should it say (AC)?

yes I am. even though the phone when normally booted won't be recognized by pc, but when in download mode, it usually does as I have had the same problem but that happens to me since I enabled the mass storage mode and then neither worked. mtp or mass storage.
when connected to charger, it shows ac and when connected to pc it shows usb

Gave to samsung service center today. Dumb fellows, they replaced USB connector in device, (thats what they said) but still its not connecting to PC. They didn't even flash a firmware. Just replaced connector and gave it back

I have the same problem here with my n7000.
Its happened after flashing ics roms. N7000's have some kind of faulty chips which causes emmc brick bug. But the issue we're having is a USB Brick.
Flashed many kernels & roms etc. but still no signs of life :crying:
Different cables & pcs, no luck..
As we are able to use mobile odin only, i flashed stock GB and sent for warranty. I always avoided to trigger binary counter so it was easy for me.
However, results were disappointing. Technician guy said that usb port is working and there is connection between both devices but something blocks usb connection. There were some unremovable files which shouldnt be there and they couldnt delete it as the section was read only accessible.
ADB isnt functioning too..
I guess the only possible way is to find a tech guy capable of replacing emmc to solve the issue from source..
Please let me know if there are any updates from your side.

I've been working with another member on this issue. Go here and read through my suggestions and see if one helps. The first thing I would try, is to uninstall sync manager and all drivers for the phone from your pc. Then, connect the phone and see if it reinstalls sync and the drivers. I hope this helps.

I think is problem is large. After update htc one sucks. no doubt it added some great features. Or it may be hardware prob as always with HTC specially with HTC one X

usb problem
mine has also stopped working. does charge but not connecting to computer . running xp so drivers ok . definitely phone problem as friends htc one connects fine..

Disable usb debugging, it will connect

usb problem
thanks , but tried everything. wont connect in fastboot, recovery or anything. cannot relock bootloader or return to stock so just returning it for warranty as it is with fingers crossed. unless someone can tell me if possible without connecting to pc.

are you using a usb 3.0 port

usb problem
usb 2.0 . i have two friends with htc one's and they both connect just fine.

Same issue here! Last night pulled my phone out and it said "incompatible charger, please use original charger". I wasn't even charging the phone, and now it wont charge or connect to PC unless the phone is off. Tried turning off debug/developer/power save/fastboot/ etc with no luck so far.

Poor USB Connection

Did anyone else experiencing poor/unreliable usb connection on htc one? I mean it keeps disconnecting randomly while connected to pc, and imediatly connect back again. I wanted to s-off the phone but not succed because of this problem. Tried 2 computers and also 2 usb cables. Should i send it to repair?

Try cleaning the phone's USB port first (for example using a compressed air can, or any other method you find suitable), maybe it's just some debris in there.
If that doesn't fix it, then yes, off to repair, because it will only get worse over time.

I would say it's cause the PC connection, uses different/more pins, than a normal charger... so for the time being the charging ones are still good, but not the ones to "talk" to your PC.... since it does "come and go", it could just be debris in there.
Or it could be a hardware problem that could get worse over time.

i will try to clean the usb port and also another usb cable, and i will came back with and response if worked or not
