Couldn't connect to PC - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys. I messed up my s3 mini and I can only enter download mode to flash firmware. However I couldn't connect to my pc. My PC doesn't even say it's not recognize my phone, it's just charging. I thought the problem is on the usb port on my s3 mini so I had it replaced at local service. Now even with the replaced port, my phone is only charging when connecting to pc. Any solution? Thanks in advance.

TyTn II usb problem.

Usually when i connect the phone through the mini usb cable to the pc it syncs and everything is fine.I tried to do it today.The specific sound when in plug in the phone is gone.The led indicating that the phone is charging is off.I have a HTC prophet and it works fine with same computer,same cable.I tried hard reseting the phone, it did not help.Ideas?
As expected, it was a problem with my mini usb port.As it is not broken yet i found that inserting the cable and rotating it a little bit (as much as the port itself allows) counterclockwise will reestablish the connection .The only question now is can i manually replace the mini usb port?

it's software problem .. I think you should download SEUS and reflash your rom , btw there are only charging cables.. are you sure that this cable isn't only charging..

I dint get what you are saying?? I tried many other carging cables, Every cable CHARGES but it does'nt work as USB cable. And If i cant connect my xperia z to computer how am i suppose to reflash my rom ??
Hello. I don't mean to sound rude but if you're saying you search can't connect USB and didn't find anything, I think maybe try to re-phrase your search terms. Try some of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=can't connect with usb
Also, cover the basics. Have you deleted any system apps. Tried USB Debugging Mode. What OS ?
Does it even attempt to install drivers, what does the device manager say ?
What does it do when you connect in flash mode, what about fastboot mode. I had an awful time making my Samsung galaxy s3 to connect via USB to my Mac, I would use my SD Card when installing roms, when I started playing with different ones, I learned real quick that some Roms worked flawlessly, some with some help, some roms wouldn't connect to USB at all. Although that was never the case with my XZ, once it installed the fastboot and fastmode drivers for Windows 7, it's never had an issue, I can't really remember before then.
Also wiggle the card and the connection around see if it quits charging. Those are a few things to try, good luck

I mean that there are cables made only for charging .. not for PC .. the cheap ones with the wall chargers.. they are only charging cable.. not data

Hi
I had exactly the same problem, phone can charge, but can't connect to PC (and doesn't charge from PC as well) .
Factory reset helped to resolve it.

No usb detection at ALL!
Hello,
I have a weird problem with my phone. It's been 3 days and I've tried everything that came to my mind!
First, the phone (Xperia Z3 Compact) was ok, then I noticed I'm low on battery (about 3%), I tried to charge it, connected to charger via micro usb port. Nothing happened, (like it has never been attached at all!) I did it several times, tested the charger and cable on other phones, worked properly on them.
then I tested with several chargers and cables, and tried to charge it with my laptop, even when connecting to the laptop (on Windows), it's like nothing even detected, nothing at all, and on the phone nothing changes (no charging, no data connection, etc.).
Then I tried to restart the OS to see if it solves the problem, but due to the battery-low situation, I couldn't boot it back on! (the battery icon kept coming on the screen). The thing is, on the state before initiating to load the OS (Only the battery icon, big(!) on the screen), it SEEMED to be charging (the charger LED turned on and connecting and disconnecting the cable made difference!). but everytime after several seconds, the SONY logo appeared, and then the smaller battery icon with a 1% text appeared, then the LED turned off and it seemed to be not charging. (I tried it several times, even with 3-vibrate resets, etc. no change)
But when I tried to load it in the Fastboot mode or Flash mode, my laptop detected it without problem. (And did some getvar commands via fastboot, no problem in that state). then I provided a magnetic charger, and charged the phone without problem with that to 100%. But still, in the Android OS, USB does not work at all, no charging via usb, no data mode, no usb detection AT ALL.
Long story short, I even tried these:
Resetting completely to factory settings,
Wiping cache partition,
Flashing (via flashtool) the stock ROM.
and I even flashed the phone with a third party ROM! Still no usb charging/detection! The USB only works in Flash and Fastboot mode!
What do I do?!
I got a wierd one. I got a new work laptop (8.1 old one was 7), and when I connect via usb it goes into some rapid loop of connected/disconnected a couple of times a second
I have pc companion installed, and went and manually installed the flashtool drivers for it also, no difference.

Interestingly, for me it doesn't work with the original Sony cable at my private laptop (Windows 8.1), but it does work with another USB cable at my work laptop (Windows 7).
Hmm, so a different cable did it for you. On mine I moved the cable to another port in the opposite side of the laptop, and it worked fine. I didn't think of trying a different cable. I haven't been game to re-try on the other port.
ok so here's my case:
phone charges well if connected to a chargher-only adapter through USB and charges correctly in it's Sony-socket
phone is not detected by the operating system and I tested it using 2 different cables (that I previously used succesgflly) with: three different PCs, 2 having windows 8.1 (nothing showing up in device manager), one having linux (tried lsusb with the phone connected and disconnected: same output) but...
Phone light's goes blue if I try to start in fastboot mode while connected to a PC (which of course doesn't happen when disconnected or connected to a charger).
I'd like to bring it to service (after trying a hard reset) but I need to backup my data and no idea on how to that without installing a recovery firmware (device is not rooted)
any idea?
Forgot to mention: when I plug the usb club, the experia makes the detection sound.
PS: in the past the USB detection when connected to a PC was faulty, acting like the cable was connected and disconnected continuosly. Previously the connection was working fine.
thanks!

Was anyone able to solve this problem?
My Sony Xperia Z C6603 isn't recognized by any windows PC,
from windows 7, 8, 8.1 to 10. The phone lights up showing it has been connected but the PC won't recognize it.
When i connect it to a charger, it charges just fine.
I have tried Turning n USB debugging ON and OFF, resetting the phone,nothing seems to work.
Any help?
You can try using flashtool to flash a stock FTF
You would use fastboot mode.
You can try a linux live session too to rule out windows
It may be your bios settings
It may be the cable, cables break all the time, get a new one.
HELP.

Can't connect to PC via USB

Hello every1.
I have a problem here.
When I plug in my USB cable to my S4A and connect it to PC, I get only charging and NO USB CONNECTION.
No USB debugging, no anything but phone charging.
Anyone has an idea what of system files should I look at for that?
I've tried SG Mass Storage enabler (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.samsungusbmassstorageenabler) and after that it stop connecting.
What does that app do and change, so what should I revert to stock state??
Please help.
Some Windows setup needs to be repaired to properly identify USB connected hardware. I have a link to fix it in my thread

Galaxy A6+ Won't connect to PC

It seems like my rooted A6+ doesn't recognize my PC. It charges but I don't get the choice to transfer files and it doesn't appear on my PC not even as an unrecognized device.
At first I thought it was a problem with my PC or my USB Cable but my friend had come over and used that same USB Cable to connect his phone to my PC and it worked just fine. The USB Cable had also worked before since it was the USB Cable that I used to root my phone. I feel like it's a software issue in my phone and not a hardware issue. Any ideas?
