Hi, to all.
I'm not sure i am the only one who has this problem on i9000,(i suppose not),
in any case i haven't found any thread related for our phone.So i thought it would be a good idea to start one,and if others have same problem, post here, so we can gather as much info we can.And maybe find a solution.
ANY HELP IS VERY APPRECIATED.
From what I've read on forum it's defined as: ''when a phone perfectly works but it is unable to make its usb micro port work in any way''.(Except charging).To precise, i mean make phone visible in download mode or able to enter in download mode,usb drivers install, transferring files to/from computer to internal memory and sdcard.
The only threads i found are for HTC devices,with no clear solution.
User Bejda gently gave me a link on a French forum with a similar problem.
It has alot of interesting info and personal opinions about the problem.
http://galaxys-team.fr/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20841
Another link is this one referring to a program that can unbrick and make functional the usb port.
http://galaxys-team.fr/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22257
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
1)GOOGLE DRIVERS (As i use cm7) --Didnt work in my case
2)Other cm7 version or other kernel from CWM --Didnt work in my case
3)Other pc usb port --Didnt work in my case
4)Other pc or format --Didnt work in my case
5)Other usb cable --Didnt work in my case
6)Mobile Odin --Cant use that to put stock firmware as i need to repartition and pit, and these options are disabled.Can they be enabled??
7)Clean Usb port/Check if it is ok --Didnt work in my case
8)Use Jig -- Didn't work either.
9)Use the program from the above forum??
10)Heimdall --Finds uknown device with 0000 ids etc,and fails to install device.Does work.Tried latest version.
11)Tried toggling BT--Didnt work.
12)Having the phone connected to notebook and then turning the notebook on -- Didnt work in my case
12)APPLYING CM9 ICS! -- YES THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM!!USB DISCS WORKING SO AS ODIN ON DL MODE!!!!!THANK GOD!
Can't think something more..
About my case:
The phone works perfect but i cant manage my pc to 'see' my phone.Charging works.
The 2 discs of the phone
or even odin cant be seen.I tried different pc's,usb ports,usb drivers/controllers,cables,download or not mode,usb debbugging on/off , samsung and google drivers.
Other cm7 versions or kernel versions.Formatting the pc also.Whereas my friends phone on pc works perfectly,mine 8 out of 10 times is not recognised ,or found as uknown device.
Discs (internal and sd) also not shown on my computer.
On 3-4 days of trying i only managed to get it shown for 1 minute(only discs) ,didnt have time to try odin,as it disconnected (without me touching anything).After that it did the same before(not recognized etc).
I also dissembled my phone and i can say usb port seems perfect.
I was thinking if i manage to make odin work i can repartion and (update bootloader????) also put stock firmware/kernel that may fix it ,or not???
Or at least with stock i can try samsung's warranty.
Anyway for now i use My phone Explorer (via wifi) that can access eveything (contacts,sms,calendar,both disks on root folders etc,and its free)
because ftp apks dont work for me.
I ran into the same problem a few weeks ago, tested it all that you write about, but eventually I gave up and sent it to Samsung, they changed the circuit board on the warranty and now it's on its way back from service.
I said I tried to update the phone in Kies and that something went wrong ....
If you have a custom ROM on your phone, see if you can "destroy the software" so that they can not get into the phone and find that you have broken the warranty.
Thanks for your answer.
Well,you were on custom firmware/kernel?
I don't know if this can be done as i am on cm7 and i use a non stock kernel.
if you are on a custom rom you could try odin for mobile to flash a stock rom and send it to samsung (if you are still under waranty) for repairs/checks

For me toggling bluetooth helpt ...

you replaced it alone?

In anycase today arrived my JIG .
Even when i enter in download mode with Jig,i cant make Odin see it in anyway/or install drivers.
Tried also BT toggling as stated,but nothing.

i hope you understood that i was referring to this
i had this problem so many times even with my ex-galaxy spica.
My solution is very weird/unimaginable : One day, my spica remained plugged in my pc portable turned off. When i booted my pc portable,in my bios screen, my phone said it was connected in USB. It was the better day of my life
Precision : my pc portable is very old ( compaq presario R3200 )
From that momment, every USBrick was just matter of time

Thanks,
sorry i read too fast.Problem remains also even with Mobile Odin.
I am on modified kernel and cm7.
If i try to use mobile odin to put stock firmware kernel i will soft brick my phone as i need to repartition and pit,and these options on mobile odin are disabled

Repair to a shop or samsung?
Claimed warranty or not?
i've got this problem to, you've probably got a faulty usb port, look into the port and see if you can find all the copper connectors, just today i tried a brand new usb cable, an that works!!!
only... it works 1 time, the first time the copper connectors aren't pushed into the cable, just look at an used cable and see what i mean, the connectors in the middle are pushed in....
what i think is that if you use a set of tweezers to pull them 1-2 mm out, (so they are lined up with the outer connectors) you can make contact again, make sure you're already in debugging mode, if you have used the cable you have to do it again..
btw, i havent tried the tweezers, i had a noever used cable laying around, but it's probably the same idea, so the same effect.... please reply if it worked or not...
btw^2 you're getting the "unknown usb device" error are you not?
Sorry for being late.These days i was ill
Yes maybe i have a faulty port.
But i can't claim warranty because i have glitch kernel and cm7 kang .
I just want to try 1st everything else possible , before a repair.
Also i don't like alot the fact that i will stay without my phone.
I will also try these days to keep it plugged on my turned off notebook (as oxmoss said)
and also try cm9 with cm9 kernel (as Dopedangel said).
Only sometimes (like 1 out of 10) it gives me unknown usb or usb malfunctioned,and (like 2 out of 1000!) it found the phone correctly.
These days , some times if i try to 'move' the cable near the phone it finds the uknown device
but i cant do nothing more. And sometimes i also hear the sound of the speakers getting 'stacked' when connect the usb..
So it must be the usb...
But the pins seem perfect.Also the ones inside the motherboard...
I tried with tweezers but nothing,as everything seems ok...
Anyway for now i use My phone Explorer (via wifi) that can access eveything (contacts,sms,calendar,both disks on root folders etc,and its free)
because ftp apks dont work for me.
Anyway i will try the above solutions and update these days the thread.
Thanks again
My laptop (and other computers I've tried) stopped seeing the note.
When I plug it in it only says charging but I don't see a new device added on Windows.
ADB says waiting for device. If i disable usb debugging a message about MTP comes up upon connection but I don't see any drives mapped in windows at all. Device manager doesn't show any android or untecognized devices.
I tried uninstalling samsung usb drivers and reinstalling them. Nothing helps. I am starting to think I have a hw issue. Anything else you can think of friends?

#$%^@! Samsung USB drivers will be the death of us all.
I experienced something similar the other day: had the standalone drivers installed which worked well, then suddenly stopped for reasons known only to CIA and KGB, I suppose.
This is what helped:
1. uninstalled drivers
2. installed fresh Kies *yecch*
Will give it a try mate. Thanks!

update : things aren't looking good.
I did a full wipe, tried a different kernel and installed KIES.
Nothing helps, the comp doesn't even make that sound when a new usb is plugged in so it doesn't even try to look for drivers or mount it.
Is it really HW issue or can i still try anything ?

Im pretty sure you already tried it but...
I had such a problem once. Turned out that my USB cable was broken, it could only charge but data-lines were inactive. I have no idea if Note uses the same line for both charging and data sync, but maybe it's not the phone - but the cable ?

thanks mate, tried two different cables.
Went to another comp now, which didn't have any samsung **** installed on it, upon first connection it tried installing the drivers and failed (obviously). I then installed samsung usb drivers, and ever since - same problem - comp doesn't see the phone.

You will agree, wipe can't restore if any corrupt system file isn't ?
N this can't be solved by any measure you.took, change pc/change cable/wipe device

Hello Dr!
So... i tried flashing ICS via mobile ODIN to try and see if it works - nothing. I tried a full wipe on stock GB - same.
I tried 3 different usb cables, and three comps - same same.
What i did notice now, is that if i keep trying to connect it for 20-30 times, it might work once out of those 30 and next time it won't work again.
hardware right ?
It seems to be hardware only.
But as you have to move to service centre, once make last try to flash using pc odin. N i think, which is requires for warranty purpose too.

Defective/dirty USB socket perhaps?
Could be. I really don't know what to think other than a faulty hardware. I tried blowing compressed air into the usb port. Other than changing the usb port assembly I don't see another way. I am with no warranty as well as I bought it from HK when they just came out and it is my understanding that Samsung only respects the warranty within the country the device is bought.

Compressed air usually unable to remove tar from pin
If you want to clean it, better use cotton soacked with spirit/petrol (after removing battery), as it evaporates rapidly. N let it dry completely.
Any update on your situation, mfractal?
Unfortunately no. I've tried cleaning the contacts but that also didn't help.
Thinking about trying to replace the usb charging port assembly but can't seem to find a dealer that sells it. Also not sure it'll help....

Dude, I too had such an issue earlier, but what I did was, I tried installing an application @ the market named "USB Mass Storage Watcher" and as soon as I installed and configured so, I got my drive identified immediately. May seem pretty noob, but no harm in giving a try....
didn't work.... same as before, only charging.
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

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 !!

Please let me know what exactly you did in order to get this done. We've bought some 10 S3 minis where I work and I've had no success in doing so. I've found no settings which would le me do that. My Galaxy Note has no problem with this at all. I also tried installing samsung usb drivers but no luck. The only thing that happens on the phone once it's connected is the sound of battery charging.

Actually, there *might* be. It's quite the shot in the dark though. I can't test it atm (Cappy is at home and I'm at work).
Look for TRusselo. In his sig, there's a 3e recovery fix (it's a bat file that removes the security check when trying to flash). But since it's supposed to be done through USB cable, you would have to grab the file it replaces and move it yourself using a file explorer (with root rights). Don't forget to make a backup of the original file
You could then put speedmod kernel (zip) on your internal, flash speedmod in recovery. (You might have to rename it to update.zip)
I know it seems a lot for rooting but it's the only way I can think of without a USB cable.
If that doesn't work, you will most likely have to get your USB port replaced.

Actually, there *might* be. It's quite the shot in the dark though. I can't test it atm (Cappy is at home and I'm at work).
Look for TRusselo. In his sig, there's a 3e recovery fix (it's a bat file that removes the security check when trying to flash). But since it's supposed to be done through USB cable, you would have to grab the file it replaces and move it yourself using a file explorer (with root rights). Don't forget to make a backup of the original file
You could then put speedmod kernel (zip) on your internal, flash speedmod in recovery. (You might have to rename it to update.zip)

I actually tried something similar last night but I'm confused about one thing.
How do I replace the recovery to allow me to install the update.zip without having root rights in the first place? It kept saying I'm not allowed to do that.

A file explorer with root rights. ES file explorer, Root Explorer, etc. are apps that allow it.
