So guys,
I'm having a huge problem. I've wanted to install a new rom on my phone. I was willing to do it through CWM's mount USB storage. But, it can't find my phone. And it doesn't show through the device manager, but the phone does charge as it turns on while I plug it in my computer. So I can't do anything because I don't have a rom, and my computer won't detect my HTC device. Any suggestions what to do?
is there any booting process ?

Hi guys,
I have a real nasty problem here. Whenever i want to connect my SGS in download mode to reflash i get the error "usb device not recognized". When i just connect it as storage i get "this device can perform faster". I habe MIUI 1.12.9 on it, and I really want to flash something else. It stopped working since I accidentally connected my front USB's in the IEEE 1394 slot, instead of the USB one. Since then my external HDD won't work anymore, I had to open it and to use it as an internal one. Is there anything I could do? Or is smth f...ed up with my phone usb...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
got it working on your pc in download mode before?
Try to reinstall the newest Samsung drivers.

Once or twice when I get this message I just take out the USB from my laptop and connect it again.. if you are constantly getting this message I think something's wrong with USB.. I would suggest trying to connect on some other computer .. if that also doesn't work then try using a different USB cable..
I already tried on a different PC. Also with another USB cable but a Nokia one. Is it necessary to use a Samsung one?

No not really.. I have used a nokia cable many times and it has worked fine for me both in download mode and usb storage mode..
if you connect your phone in usb storage mode to a different computer, still the same message is flashed?
Actually on another computer I didn`t manage to connect at all, download mode or mass storage. Everything worked just fine before the USB thing.

You can:
1. use a different USB port
2. use a different pc
3. use a program to go to download mode ( POT android tools by opda team).
on different pc - install those USB drivers ->

on a different pc you first need to install the drivers for your phone..
Download and install Kies.
POT Android can't find my phone. I'll try again on a different PC...
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?

You most likely have problem with your pc LG drivers.
Download drivers by finding the link for LG driver on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
Install the drivers and try connecting and it will work

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.

flashing a new rom, i think it may be hardware issue
Hi everyone. I have searched the forums with no luck. I have a I9000 that has a shattered screen and as a result there is no image on the screen nor will touch work at all....I know, big surprise right? My goal is to get the data off of the phone. The phone is booting as I can hear the sounds and responds to Doanload/Recovery Mode commands etc. Before I would plug it into PC via USB and I would have to select one of three options on how the USB should behave. One of those options would enable Kies to access the phone. Because the screen is damaged, how can I force the phone to connect with Kies, or the computer for that matter?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Chris
hi, it will depend on what the usb is set to, if you switch the phone on and connect to the PC you should be able to use it as an external disk. If not start Kies then connect and it should connect, then you can recover your files

Hi thanks for the reply. Kies actually doesn't recognize the phone and suggests that I turn on Developer Mode (if I remember correctly).
I read of a way to recover the data by activating the Recovery Mode and plugging in to USB. The issue there is I would almost need screenshots of the menus to try and navigate through and mount the device since the screen is unusable.

Strange experience, you can also try some of these options:
(i) Can use the TV out cable so that the screen is displayed on an external display [Use the 3.5mm TV out cable, even Nokia TV out cable works]
(ii) For using recovery, you should know the cwm/kernal that was installed, as the menu options vary? if not, what last ROM version you had installed, this may also help you get the exact recovery menu options.

I will try that with a 3.5mm to RCA that I have from a digital camera and see if that works. I have never rooted the phone so it's stock and whatever the latest Android version for that phone is. I THINK its 2.3.1 but not sure.
Ive had this issue for a few weeks now and its finally got my attention because i cant load any custom roms into storage.
Whenever i plug my phone into a computer, it will charge fine, but wont connect and show storage. It doesnt show up in device manager and usb debugging doesnt activate. Im using windows 8 and i did notice an error pop up telling me that the usb device is not recognized and has malfunctioned.
Oh, and im running ARHD 12.1

yeah. i had everything working fine for months before. im checking to see if its an issue with the rom. i think it first started after i installed the version that im on.
If you plug your phone in via USB, to see the internal memory, your phone needs to be unloacked. Will will come up with a warning on the the phone.
Steve
Im starting to think this is a hardware problem.
I reverted to stock and the issue is still there. Im now noticing that it shows up in device manager occasionally as an unknown device. It appears to connect and disconnect over and over on its own. Sometimes it will stay connected for a few minutes and i would try to update the drivers manually but it would say no drivers found. Windows also reports that "my device may have malfunctioned". I know that all my storage is still in tact though, so i guess its just something wrong with the usb controller?
Thank goodness for wifi file transfer or i'd have no access to my storage. But im concerned that i may be stuck if i ever need to adb or fastboot...crap!
