Dream won't connect via usb

ANY help regarding this would be a lifesaver. I have called t-mobile customer support and they are as useful as (insert analogy here)
Since the last over-air update, more than a month ago at this point, my phone is unable to connect to the PC via usb. When I plug my phone in, it doesnt prompt me to mount but it does charge.
I have tried almost everything including: Factory reset, USB Debugging mode, formatting the SDmini, changing the SDmini, changing the usb cord, using different computers. . .I have searched many other forums and others have had the same issue but no results. T-mobile told me that NO ONE can connect via usb since the update (which I find hard to believe)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to mod my device but can not without this feature.

Sounds like you need to root now. You can mod your device just load up RC29 on your sd card thru a card reader and start the process from there.

OK. Just dumbfounded Tmo had NO help for me other than the CS rep telling me that I am screwed. I will definately do this. Thanks!

No problem, its a easy process and you got plenty of help here.

[Q] SGS I9000M not recognized by the computer

When I connected my phone to the computer this morning it did nothing..No device unknown, nothing on computer, zilch!!! I was like let me do a master reset and format the memory card. That did nothing too. I tried switiching out cables, switched out computers, but same thing, the phone is charging but does not show up on my computer. I have another SGS that is detected on both the computers with both cables so I ruled out the driver/cable issue. Kies does not recognize the phone either. I have not done anything to it. It has the factory Bell ROM with 2.3.3 with UGKG3 firmware. The phone makes calls but just cannot be detected by the computer making it completely useless as I cannot load anything on it (Music/pictures). I am out of warranty so sending it to Samsung is not possible. Do I have a fried board? What are my options. The phone is not rooted and has never seen any custom firmware. Any help is appreciated.

I had that problem after I rooted the Bell UGKG3 rom, but you're not rooted, so not really sure.
I just rebooted my computer and it was recognized again.
You've eliminated all the obvious issues with the other cables and phones.
As for loading music and pictures, if you have an external microSD card in the phone, you could take it out and load it with a USB reader for microSD cards.

If you can load and run Apps then likely the board is fine. Try cleaning the port with rubbing alcohol and a bit of q-tip on a pin. They can be very sensitive to dirt. Like in that you'll see nothing in the qtip but it works again...
Also check if it is recognized in odin separately as if it is OK there it may be a rom issue.

I'm sure you just haven't installed the proper drivers.
I have a bell phone too, but just made sure I installed them manually.

Black Rose: My phone is not rooted. Microsd card is the last thing I want to do as I wanted to root the phone and use the internal 16gb memory. WHen I install a microsd card and plug the phone in the computer it still doesnt show, so I am thinking it is the usb port on the phone
G: I will go get some rubbing alcohol. THe phone is not recognized in ODIN either. I can get to download mode..is there something I can do to reflash the phone?
TheToiletSpaula: How can it be drivers when I have 2 of the same phones and one gets recognized and the other doesnt?

I know this is an old thread but is there any news on this particular problem. My SGS have the same problem (not recognized as a phone in xp) phone does boot up an can load apps etc. fine. I can go into download mode and recovery and phone does charge via the cable. I tried a different cable without luck. Even tried to reinstall drivers and ended up reinstalling my whole OS on my laptop. First win7 without luck and now I´m back on xp. Also tried a friends desktop computer but same problem....

Samsung galaxy s 'usb brick'

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

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

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

[Q] i9000 boots to black screen NO DOWNLOD MODE OR RECOVERY

Ok so I purchased an i9000M that was advertised as broken (got it for cheap) to see if I could get it going for my step daughter. I turn it on.... I get the samsung boot screen and goes black when it should be booting OS.
Windows still recognizes it somewhat. If I look in device manager under "portable devices" It shows a "j" and "k" drive that are identified as i9000 and i9000 sd or something like that. Although Windows sees it.... It wont mount these drives unfortunately.
Things I've tried ( Before someone suggests I use a JIG............. It doesn't and will not work on this phone)
USB JIG (tested and working on my Hercules)
SD Card Partition (EXT4 and FAT32) because I suspect borked internal storage
SD Card Partition (ReiserFS and FAT32) Still nothing......... then I realized the phone probably wasnt rooted
3 button combos ( every single combination) nada
plugging in USB cable while holding volume up and down...
ADB Reboot recovery/download ( not recognized because I cant turn on debugging)
ETC ETC ETC........
I have been searching google for hours for some kind of clue as to what can be done other than JTAG repair and All I come up with (no matter what site im on) is " Use a USB JIG" duhhhh Its getting rather annoying.
Im no stranger to flashing ( no expert) but this one has me stumped. I was considering buying a RIFFbox anyways but I thought maybe some experienced users out there might be able to suggest something.
My hope is that something can be done with the J and K drive that was mentioned. Perhaps I can format and somehow push a rom straight to the internal storage without any assistance from the phone itself...... I know..... wishful thinking. or perhaps boot straight from external SD???? That would be interesting!
More to this.... I realize this question has probably been asked a million times because it seems to be a common issue on this phone but I suppose my long winded question really boils down to my last paragraph which I havent seen suggested yet.
EDIT: I have a Windows 7 AND kubuntu 12.04 dual boot if any suggestions require linux
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks. i will have a look and experiment tomorrow.
I'll report back my progress

if it pops up when you plug it into the computer, check if it does in odin. if does in there too try to flash a stock rom. or better yet take this download and follow the read me intructions, except the dl mode part cause you said it doesnt work. try both with the phone on and off. no it isnt the bell version of the pom but it will work. you will problably want to root it then install galaxy s unlock tool from the market and use that to unlock the phone aswell.(cause it not the bell rom)

As I mentioned.... no download mode, therefore.... No ODIN. Unless someone has some magical way to make it work otherwise. The computer knows its an I9000 at least. Kies says its in the wrong mode and I have no UI so debugging is out of the question.
Also: Xsenmen. I was unable to get any of the tools to connect. In one section you mention that AndroPlatina attempts to connect while booting? I was unable to get this to happen. I even tried the "heat trick" to no avail

[Q] Phone not supported in Kies 2.0

I get this error message when connecting via USB that the phone is not supported by Kies 2.0 and the phone is brand new and completely stock. Should I return it?

Can you see the phone in your windows explorer or similar, the phone and SD card storage?
If no, then it is more likely a driver issue. Download and install the S3 Toolkit from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290 and follow the instructions to install the drivers. If all goes well then there is no issue with the phone. Not used Kies but if the drivers install properly then you shoudl be able to see it in Kies.
In all honesty, I would not bother with Kies. The way to go is once you root (if you inted to) is to just do nandroid backups to your microsdcard. That way if anything happens when away from your computer you can easily rectify it.
If you decide not to use Kies then remember to remove it from your computer before using S3 Toolkit as it can cause conflicts.

Kies and the drivers work just fine with my i9300. And I can read and write internal and external. And Odin works perfect...
So why not Kies? Even tried reinstalling and a clean Windows 7 install with only Kies installed. And my i9300 worked just fine on all the others but not my i9305.

Are you saying that the I9305 is picked up by odin and you can see the phone in Windows or are you referring to the 9300?
Have you tried the drivers from S3 Toolkit? I do not have kies here and it is removed from my phone so cannot test it. Actually, what rom are you running? Perhaps the rom has the Kies stuff removed?
Have you enabled USB Debugging?

I'm saying that it all works just not Kies with my I9305. Everything else is working 100% and I've tried USB debugging on and off. Even considered flashing another firmware but can't find a NEE or the TLA my phone came with.

Ah ok, well in that case I cannot see there being an issue with the phone at all. Just a Kies issue somewhere or possibly an issue with the rom but still do not think it justifies getting it replaced as you know the USB interface works.

I've emailed Samsung last night.let's see what they say...
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

Got the phone exchanged and it's working fine now.

I got the same problem with a new Samsung Galaxy S III 4G (GT-I9305)... do i have to return it and get another one ?

I had to, mine had an error. But yours might not have the same error, have you tried uninstalling KIES, deleting the Samsung folder in documents and then reinstall?

Yep, i just installed win 7 x64, then installed KIES, did the update, connected the phone to pc via usb cable and i get a driver error message. "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" shows with ! in device manager.
I have uninstalled KIES, cleaned up the PC with ccleaner, installed: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1590.
Reboot PC and phone, no luck.
Then tried to point them manually from C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\USB Drivers and C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers still no luck.
I downloaded KIES from Samsung website under the phone software section and still nothing.

After uninstall delete Samsung folder in documents.
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

I had an i9305 international for 2 weeks and Kies said phone not supported, I sold it due to cell coverage issues in my area. Now I have an i9300 International and again Kies will not work with it. Is there a different version of Kies for international phones? I am in the US.

Did that too.
Disconected every usb device i had plugged in, tried every usb port, and with debugging e/d ... it's driving me nuts.
Can it be a hardware problem ?
When i put it in download mode the pc detects it.
I have stock firmware XXALI5
SOLUTION to my problem:
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 2 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect

Was just about to ask if you had backed the IMEI and forgot to put it back, since I saw your picture and it said Qualcomm and not Samsung.

Tried reinstalling Kies and all, it did not work. Then called Samsung and they said that I need to send the phone to them for a software update. My old firmware was LI5 and the phone is stock.
What I did was, downloaded the latest carrier firmware from samfirmware and flashed it with Odin. Now no more problems with Kies and phone is not stated as modified. Still all original. Firmware now LI9.
Hope that helps
Saved me the hassle sending the phone to Samsung.
