My s6 that is on cleanrom 1.1 seems to be having issues with its USB connection. When I connect my phone to my computer it never gets a connection and I get a window that its connected, then it being not connected. How can I wipe the phone now that the USB is all messed up? Should I wipe the cleanrom 1.1 and see if that will fix the issue?

when you plug your phone in make sure you have to unlock the phone first with your fingerprint or pin number. in your settings make sure you have usb debugging enabled also. try doing those two first.
I have the same issue with clean rom. I've gotten it to connect a few times by changing the USB port

I have an issue with my PC not recognizing my Captivate. When I plug in the USB cable to my PC, I can choose to activate USB mode and it prompts me to mount the drive, I say yes but nothing shows up in My Computer. I was able to do all this fine just a few days ago.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers. I installed Samsung Kies and it doesn't recognize the phone. I tried my phone on another PC and it won't show up there either. I've factory wiped the phone twice now.
Is it a problem with the phone or is there something I can do to get this to work?
I'm having the same issue. Did you get this resolved & if so, how? Tried both ports on my MB Pro & work PC...tried Samsung cable & another USB cable. Debugging is on.
Try Settings -> Applications -> USB Settings -> (select) Mass Storage
I found that when my captivate was set to Kies my computer wouldn't pick it up.
Mine was set to ask on connection. Tried mass storage mode (debugging off) & no dice. Back to ask on connection with debugging on, and still nothing. I've tried all 3 USB ports on my work laptop and both on the MB Pro. Any other ideas?
Did u try enabling "debug mode" and seeing if the PC recognizes it.
The main issue is usually your USB cable. I had the same issue. You need to find an OEM mini usb cable for it to work properly. The one that came with my phone works fine, but when i went to ATT and bought one for my work, it only lets you charge the phone and does not put your phone into USB connection mode.

The ones from MonoPrice work for me and they were like $1.50
Diablo: Been in debugging mode most of the time trying to get it to work. Main issue is getting my personal MB Pro to recognize, so I won't be able to check/tinker much until after work tonight.
cajuntigerbait: I've been using the provided Samsung cable – tried a work Blackberry cable (works fine with my work BB) to no avail as well.
Will update tonight. Any tried & true methods for cleaning the phone port while I'm at it? Thanks for the quick responses, everyone

Thanks, will check the site & order a few when I get a chance. Couldn't hurt to have a couple spares, right?
I went into menu -> settings -> connectivity, and set the USB connection to "Always Ask" when connecting to a computer so that it would ask me if I want to use Charging/Mass Storage/Media Sync/etc. Even with that box checked, no matter what I do, when I connect the phone to my computer, it does NOT ask me what USB connection mode to use. Can anyone else confirm whether or not they experience this problem?
Thanks!
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc.
call Verizon or LG for that support..OR try your control panel windows settings..devices

Is the little USB symbol showing up in the notification bar?
If not...try a different USB port on the computer.
Sounds dumb, i know...but it worked for me today when I had the same problem. And I think I recall it working on my old Incredible.
SOLVED
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc, between mass storage mode and whatnot. When I switch the LG from charge to mass storage and back on the fly, it's doing something to the samsung drivers. When i reconnected my samsung, then the LG again, things went cuckoo for cocoa puffs until I rebooted.
I can't post a new topic as I have less then ten posts but I have an issue with my connectivity as well. When unplugged the phone still shows the USB icon in the top left corner like it is plugged in. However when plugged in the phone will charge but when connected to a computer mass storage mode will not work or show up. I have tried it in windows xp/ osx on my MacBook. Windows 7 on my desktop and nothing. The drivers are good as it was working before. I have done a wipe/data, restored back to cubed 1.1 mod and it is still doing it. It doesn't bug me that bad as I use andftp to move my apostle back and forth from my NAS to sdcard. But I would like it fixed as trying to put music or ISO's for my psx emulator can take a minute over the wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

Why am i getting a Factory data cable connected and i cannot switch between usb modes?
I have a rooted bionic with blurr3d rom installed. i just got a new laptop, installed the moto driver, tried connecting my phone but laptop cannnot read my phone. I noticed that i dont have the usb conection option anymore(or dont know where to find it)
Any help would be nice...
Can you give some more info, what kernel are you on right now?
Does the phone make any sound or indication that it is connected when you plug it in to the laptop?
If there is a USB connection, there should be an icon on the notification bar and there should be a notification for "USB connection" when you open your notifications. If you select that, it should bring up the usual USB connection menu.
I've heard of some people having issues with connections on USB ports that get low power. On desktops, people generally recommend using the ports on the back because they receive more power, apparently. I've also heard of similar issues on a laptop, though you don't have the convenient option of using another set of USB connections. Most of that has been information I've seen for stuff like flashing something on the device, so I'm not sure if that would be an issue for the basic USB connection.
Try a different USB cable.
Okay, I'm boggled at this problem. I'll provide all the details and maybe someone much more saavy than I can clear this up or provide a solution:
- Purchased new samsung captivate unlocked from amazon
- Phone is running stock 2.2 Froyo (I factory reset it once, from privacy options)
- Phone has no SIM card in yet.
Problem:
Phone does not connect to any computer or USB port by the provided USB cable
Troubleshooting:
- I have tried to connect the new phone using the provided cable and it only recharges. There is no sound or indication on the PC of detecting the phone. Only a beep on the phone indicating it is charging.
- I have tried every USB port (front and back) of 4 different PCs. 2 laptops, 2 desktops. Including trying USB ports with no other USB peripherals attached. (PCs were windows 7 64 bit PCs)
- The only success I have had - was when I tried it on a powered USB hub connected to a laptop, the computer detected a Samsung android device. It worked for 2-3 reconnect/ejects. Then was never able to repeat this success on any combination of USB hub + PC (laptop or desktop)
- I have tried a samsung stratosphere on the provided captivate USB cable, the Stratosphere usb cable and my Nook USB cable. It worked on all 3.
- The Captivate failed on all 3 (only charged, no USB to PC connection).
- I have tried debug mode on, debug mode off, mass storage mode, kies mode (with kies installed/uninstalled). Drivers installed, then uninstalled. Still only charges, the PC does not detect any device connected.
Conclusions:
- The USB port on the phone is faulty (then I would return it to amazon), this phone is 1 week old.
What I find odd is how it worked for 2-3 connections on a powered USB hub on one laptop.
- The 3 USB data cables I tried were all not "good enough" for the captivate but work fine for the stratosphere and for my nook. (Then I'd find a good enough cable)
- The phone currently does not have a SIM card. (not sure if that is somehow related).
I will probably return the phone at this rate, but would like to know if this is a common problem with Captivate with no common solution.
Side Question:
My ultimate goal through all this, is to root the phone so I can tether to it wirelessly. I obviously can't tether through USB since I am unable to make a data connection through the USB port.
If there is someway I can tether wirelessly without rooting the phone then I may be able to live without using a USB data cable.
Thanks for reading and any replies!
For ur connections issues, have u checked out this thread --- Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help ??
But u may have a port problem... U can get USB Port repair done by a good trust worthy guy here... Samsung Captivate USB Port Repair
And as far as the wireless tethering, u can do it without being rooted, but it will cost u of course. That is, u will have to pay for the tethering plan.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking along a similar route that the data pins on the USB port were no good.
Seeing that the phone is only 1 week old I will probably return it and either get a new one or different model.
You wouldn't happen to know if this is a common issue with the Captivate? so I should avoid it in the future?
^ Speakin from my experience and what I've read over the past year and a half or so, it is not a common problem.
The Captivate was a great phone in it's day. But these days u have a wide choice of other more up to date phones.
The SGS II is my main daily phone now and my Captivate is my work cell.
Don't get me wrong though, the Captivate is still a great phone.

Hi, My phone is showing these symptoms :
If I connect it using USB cable, no USB icon shows up in status bar, PC does not recognize any device connected to it(with or without driver you should be able to see a USB device connected to it) also it wont even charge!
Phone charges fine with charger
If I turn off phone and connect it to PC it will start to charge
Holding volume up and connecting to charger will result in LED turn blue and a black screen but still no USB device shows up in PC for fastboot
If I go into USB Preferences and connect the USB to PC everything is grayed out except enabling charge connected device
what I've tried :
Use different cable
Use different PC
Use different OS(windows10/Linux)
Reboot phone
Removing SD card and SIM card
Factory reset phone
Clean USB port
My phone is using latest Android pie Build 52.0.A.8.14, developer mode and USB debugging is also enabled.
I would appreciate if you let me know how to resolve this If you think it's not a hardware issue
Is there any way to install TWRP without having USB connection to the phone ?

Thank you for your reply, and I assume there is no way to install recovery without data connection.

If you don't rely on unlocking, usb data transfer, etc it is fine
I know this is a old thread, but
I have a similar issue, I need this phone for debugging purpose, and I "fixed" it by turn the usb-c around........
Just like the old usb.
I don't know why. I already tried multiple cables, all have "one side connection", it seems it's phone's hardware issue. But I'm not sure.
That's not the case for me, looks like some people are telling this has happened for them after updating to 52.0.A.8.50

I'm also having the same problem with the same phone (android 10 build 52.1.A.2.1).
This problem started yesterday and somehow my SD card is not recognized anymore, it's asking to reformat it.
Rotating the original usb cable does help!
Only it doesn't want to connect to finder on my Mac, I have yet to try a windows pc.
