my phone likes to restart on it's own after 5 minutes so i figured out i can update it though the lg update tool to the legal ics but when i do and it starts to install my computer crashes. or if i put the phone in download mode and plug it in my computer crashes. i don't know what the hell is going on with my phone anyone have this happen to them?
also on my device manager it says lge android serial port etc etc etc and then under disc drives it calls it a lge cosmo
try it on a diff machine. i updated 2 with no problems.

I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything (sorry if it's already been discussed)
I'm trying to install Kies and it keeps aborting the install on step 4.
No matter what options I try to choose, it gets to step 4 when it tries to download some more components, the progress bar goes up to 1% then it aborts itself.
I've tried this on 3 different PCs (XP sp1 and sp3) to no avail ..
Any ideas ?
well.. no reply, but in case someone else has this problem when trying to unlock their phone.. you can just download the standalone USB drivers .. google it up and good luck
I still don't have kies .. but don't really need / want it either
same problem here mate hopefully someone knows how to fix it
I also had the same problem, finally solved by deleting the 16 character files in the phone which was explained in another forum. Samsung says problem is due to some bug phone.
To make KIES working with phone, set the phone to be used as mass storage using USB debugging setting.
Remove all the 16 character files until Samsung publish a update/fix. In my case, I found those files in Seesmic, Backgrounds app.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable and select "Samsung Kies" mode.
Problem you might face is finding all the 16 character files in the phone.
You can use a program made by PhoenixFx. Google it you will find the exe file.
though a small problem is still there. Every time I toggle between USB debugging mode and KIES, I have to de-install and reinstall the drivers. For now I have stopped using USB debugging mode to avoid reinstallation of drivers. I use other system for that.
KIES now works fine and helped in upgrading my firmware
My Samsung Galaxy S purchased Oct 2010
Model number GT-I9000
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version I9000XXJM2
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number ECLAIR.XWJM3
Running latest version of Samsung KIES on Windows 7. Trying to upgrade to OS to Froyo
When I connect my phone via usb I get notification
Installing device drivers
then
device driver software not successfully installed
MTP usb device Failed.
It seems Windows 7 is not recognising Android driver(s) on my phone. Is this a known/new issue? I connected my phone to a Windows XP machine and it recognised the phone straight away and was visible in KIES. Is there a setting in Windows 7 that needs to be adjusted perhaps? Can anyone offer a suggestion as to how to recify this problem?

Multiple posts on the forum .

have you tryed to reinstall kies? and u can firs put phone on mass storage and wait to install drivers =)
I had an older version of KIES, did a search for Galaxy S updates, one of which was an updated version of KIES, now installed. I put the phone in mass storage mode, connected, then it told me to exit mass storage mode, had to disconnect in order to do so. Have searched MTP usb device on this site, read the archived entries and varied solutions, none of which work. Fairly sure its a Windows problem, because as I eluded to previously, it connects to Windows XP no problem.
Windows recognises my phone in Real Player mode, but not in KIES mode! KIES then says connection mode not supported, please connect in KIES mode, the Windows fails to recognise my phone.

There is a lot of thread about it, but well...
Start fresh:
- Uninstall Kies (phone not connected)
- Clean your registry with ccleaner (google it)
- restart your PC
- Dowload the last 2.x Kies realeased from samsung website
- Install Kies as administrator
- Go in your SGS setting device -> Application -> devlopment -> Uncheck USB debugging
- Restart your phone (even if not needed, do it)
- When the phone is up, plug the USB cable.
No luck with that either!

It should work no matter what:
Your windows 7 system have a problem somewhere (Drivers outdated?, antivirus?, firewall?, service not properly started? etc.. can be a lot of external things)
If you checked all that, it could be an hardware issue (i doubt that)
Are you using the stock USB cable right?
Anyway triple check everything, update, restart. It must work or you have or you are a very very very special case (i doubt that too).
Its an odd one alright
I'm reasonably confident, while not being an expert, that Windows is the problem, only wish I knew what exactly. I'm asking on Windows forums as well.
Hi there so I today truied to update to Eagles Blood custom Rom using Rom Manager to flash the new rom onto my O2x. The rom supposedly installed correctly but then when it booted it just gets to the unlock screen you unlock it then it reboots after a couple of seconds.
I can't get into recovery mode by the usual power on volume down technique as this just results in the phone continuing to load. I have tried different combos of power button reboots with volume button up, volume down and both together none work the only difference is that one of those results in just the LG logo rebooting.
I read a few posts about using nvflash or even the lg recovery tool using imei number etc but still no dice basically when I do the connect to the pc with both volume buttons pressed and the battery out it connects but doesn't recognise the device. I try the device manager and updating or removing the driver but regardless of how and what I try it either tells me it's using the most current driver or that no driver is actually installed.
This the same when using NV Flash i can't apx drivers installed and the device if I try to skip that step and go straight to the flash.bat command i just get usb device not found or connected or something like that.
Please help i am willing to try anyrhing and i really don't have the money for a new phone. I only have to get it working long enough or far enough so i can reinstall my backup i did before attempting the rom install this morning.
try connecting to different usb port(I suggest the backport of your PC)
and if that didn't work, must be a faulty cable.

Unfortunately the cable is fine as if I'm not holding the power or volume keys I'm charging the batteries. I'm thinking there's something wrong with windows and the way it detects it possibly as i've trawled a fair amount of forums and tried a lot of what others have managed to get working with exception to someone else who had the same problem but couldn't get a resolution (that he posted about).
May be your USB port was broken.
Have you actually installed the apx drivers required for nvflash to work?

you're not on Hard Brick, right?
can you try Smartflashing?
you need to install LG united drivers first.
APX won't install
So the problem is that my PC will pick up the unknown device. But it will not allow the install of the drivers. I can install the LG universal driver. The phone will connect as a unknown device only with error code 43 (device has been stopped) you try installing the APX drivers and the install of those drivers fail with error code 10 (can't start the device) this happens on both my stuffed phone and the brand new replacement so I am at a loss I have tried this on Windows 7 pc and also a Win 7 laptop (64 bit and 32 bit respectively).
The whole affair is frustrating as hell as I an't get my new O2x recognised either I can't root that to put my nandroid backup on and I am stuck on Froyo that I can't seem to root at all or even use lg update tool to update it to the latest stock firmware.
WHat about rooting apps
So with the obvious ways not working are there any actual apps I can install on my phone that will root it that way I am certain this is how I did it on my first O2x just can't remember what the name of the app was. So if anyone has apps or links to apps that may do this and or do do this please post back.
Have you actually tried a different USB cable? I notice you said the cable charges the phone, but this doesn't mean that other cores/pins other than the ones used for charging aren't damaged.

different windows and different drivers
My suggestion would be try it on some other computer and different drivers. Or on same computer but reinstall Windows and ofc different drivers.
I'm suggesting this because I had experienced some what similar things on LG phones.
I was using the LG update tool to upgrade from gingerbread to ics and the software gets to 23% in installing to phone when it says it cant communicate with phone. the main tool usually still says connected to phone. following its direction i unplug cable and remove/reinstall battery reconnect but never works. display will not light. but will virbrate with cable connections. how can i fix this. I have even tried the lg tool on another computer with no luck. I have tried some tools from here as well and the computer seens to have some aspect of the phone it just cant put a driver on. it says that a usb device has malfunctioned
thanks
im having the same problem. i called lg and they said all i could do is send the phone in cause the operating systems been wiped by the update tool
I'm in a big predicament. A few weeks ago I installed the MOAR ROM on my Note 5. After installing this ROM I was no longer able to connect my phone to PC. I tried a Windows 8 PC which says I have an unrecognized USB device plugged in. I tried going into Developer settings to set USB mode to MTP but the option didn't exist. I had all USB drivers installed as well. My wife's phone is recognized no problem. When plugging the phone into my linux machine absolutely nothing happened. It used to show the phone in the left navigation panel in my window manager but after installing MOAR ROM it was no longer detected.
Anyway, today I was trying to play Cartoon Wars 3 and since my phone is rooted it wouldn't let me play. I decided to go into the Super User app and disable it to see if the game would work and it didn't. When I went to re-enable the app it said installation failed and asked me to reboot. I clicked reboot and was sent into a boot loop. I thought okay no big deal, I'll just restore a backup in TWRP. When I go to restore the backup and select the backup file it asks which partitions to restore, but there are no boxes to check. It usually has options like system and data but now it's just blank. I tried a factory reset and I'm still in a bootloop. I'm at a complete loss. I don't know what else to do. I've tried download mode and everything but no matter what I do my phone isn't detected by my pc.
I appreciate any help. I don't know what to do. I'm out of a phone right now and don't have a backup. Not to mention I'm in between jobs right now and can't afford a new one right now.
Just flash a stock rom from sammobile.com
Pre req:
*Odin(any vers)
*Stock rom
Steps
*Extract the downloaded stock rom in your PC
*In twrp wipe everything except internal, then boot in to download mode.
*Once in download mode, connect your phone to your pc, then open Odin.
*In Odin, check the "AP" section and locate the downloaded stock rom(the extracted one)
*Hit start.
Hpe that helps

Thank you for your reply but it seems you didn't read my post. My phone is not recognized by any pc.
What is the terminal command to restore a backup? That's pretty much my last ditch effort.
Well I broke my recovery so I'm screwed. I contacted Samsung and they said they would service it for free. Wish me luck.
What would cause the phone to stop being recognized by the PC? I narrowed it down to the MTP software or the micro usb charge port. My Windows computer says Device Descriptor Request Failed. Linux box does nothing. No USB devices are listed when I run lsblk.

The phone does not boot. Recovery does not boot. The only thing the phone does is go into download mode. The phone does not connect to any computer so I cannot use odin.

when your phone is in download mode,it doesn't work to connect it with samsung kies on your pc?
You could try using the Kies software to reload the stock firmware. Here's an overview of what to do:
- if you don't already have the Kies software installed on your PC, download it (just search Google) and install it. The first time it runs it'll update itself to the latest version so make sure you run it once before proceeding.
- put your phone in Download mode: with the phone completely off, press and hold the Volume Down and Home and Power buttons simultaneously, and release them all when you see the Samsung splash screen
- connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable that came with the phone
-- if you've never had the phone connected to your Windows-based computer before, you'll see messages about installing drivers, etc - just wait until this is done (may take 5 or 10 minutes) [I don't know what happens if you have a Mac - it probably just works]
- in the Kies software, select the second item in the Tools menu and just follow the prompts to enter the model number (in CAPS) and IMEI/Serial Number (both found under the battery - it's ok to remove the battery at this point)
- the Kies software should start downloading the correct firmware for your phone from the Internet; once that's done (depending on your Internet connection speed) it'll begin downloading that to the phone (this probably takes 10 minutes or so)

Kies doesn't work either. I already tried that. When I hook up the phone It says "Device Descriptor Request Failed". It used to connect to my computers until I put MOAR ROM on the phone. Since then it stopped being recognized by my computers. There's either something wrong with the connection or something got corrupted.

What have you already tried?
- are you sure you're using a data cable and not a charging-only cable?
- have you tried a different computer?
- have you installed the Kies software?
- what does Device Manager show when the phone is connected?
- assuming that the phone is working normally, does the phone show anything when you connect it?
- do you have try windows 8 or 10?
can be you found a solution in this forum

I've tried 4 different cables. My wife's S5 works perfectly fine on all computers. I have tried in Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. I've also tried in Linux Mint. It used to work until I installed MOAR Rom. Windows says Device Descriptor Request Failed. Linux doesn't do anything when hooked up. lsblk doesn't show the device either.
I have a bit of an update. Apparently something happened with all my data cables. I hooked up my wife's phone the other day and I was all of a sudden receiving the same error as the note 5. I went out and bought a new data cable and now her phone connects again. I'm waiting for the Note 5 to charge up so I can try Odin. I'll post back my results.
I apologize to those who told me it was the cable. I just didn't see that it was conceivable that all 4 of my data cables were all of a sudden damaged. Never underestimate the ability of children to destroy every working cable you own.
Well I'm still getting the error. I have some usb cables coming in the mail so once i try those out I'll get back to everyone.

Were you able to fix your issue. I have the same issue. Note 5 N9208, I can get into Recovery (TWRP) and Download mode, but can not boot. The USB connection is showing USB Device Descriptor failed. I have tried 5 different cables and Windows 7/10 Ubuntu and cant get the phone to show up on the PC. I also have changed the USB port of the phone. Any insight would be helpful.

I ended up trying to replace the port and accidentally cut the ribbon for the LCD screen. Ended up getting a new phone.
