Acidently deleted USB connection app - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
as I wanted to delete unnecessary blow apps I think I deleted some important System app that is responsible for connecting to a PC. Now the S5 mini behaves as I it is connected to a battery charger when it is connected to a PC, there is no sign that it is recognized by the PC. I allready tried to Flash recovery with Odin but it isnt recognized by Odin too (in download mode). Am I doing something wrong? Can someone help me PLEASE get my phone working again and flash some custom ROM? Thanks in advance!!!

Try to install kies drivers for your smartphone and retry on odin. I think the only problem is the missing of the drivers

No, Kies is installed and it has no effect. Neither Kies nor the Computer recognize the phone, even on the phone theres no sign it is connected to the PC except the battery loading sign.

Try To find the drivers on google and install them. Do you have a custom recovery? If yes you can flash a custom rom

Download mode isn't related to kernel nor recovery, so unless you somehow wiped all phone's memory (all partitions) you'll still have download mode. So if you can enter Samsung's download mode and your computer doesn't recognize the phone it's one of them:
1. Bad cable, some USB cables only charge, no data connection;
2. Bad USB port on either phone or computer, try and different computer.
Good luck.

Any Other Way To Bring My Phone Back To Life

My SGS isn't bricked. But lately after I flashed a deodexed 2.3.3 ROM, I have a hard time connecting my USB (USB not recognized). This afternoon, my phone jammed and won't boot (Stuck in Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Screen). I can't enter the recovery mode either for no reason (used to be able to).
Now I can't flash a stock ROM because my USB isn't recognized and recovery mode is unaccessible too. Trying to install the drivers for the USB now. Anyway as it's installing, any other ways to bring my phone back?
Flash a rom through odin. You could try darky's 9.2 ressurection edition.
The problem now is I could not flash with Odin because my USB isn't working

seriously try using other computer or laptop.. install the required drivers on your friends computer and then try to flash a different rom via odin
tried that. on different comp. same problem. USB not recognized with the drivers installed
I guess this is the problem. When I can't boot my phone, I did a backup restore. Maybe something is messed up and drivers don't recognize my phone as Samsung Galaxy S anymore. Anyway to force it to recognize?

I'm sorry for being a noob. I've downloaded USBDeview. I should remove USB devices and? What do i do after that?
My USB device is Not Recognized. will it show on USBDeview?
Shows old usb drivers delete the lot on that port .

if you can go into download mode then you surely can get it flashed with odin ..
try downloading the drivers again and then installing again and then try again....
... if everything fails then you should send it to the service center
Try unplugging and plugging the usb repeatedly. I've had this happen before, and I was able to get the phone recognised by doing this.

[Q] Wont mount to PC or Mac

Hi all, I have scoured the web for similar issues and can't find any answers
-Captivate I897 running 2.1 formerly mounted to my MAC just fine, rooted using Galaxy-S one click root. Root was successful, mostly just removed bloatware, etc.. but alas my phone is no longer recognized by the computer, although the phone recognizes that it is connected, when I click "mount" nothing happens on the computer's end.
-Appears to be a problem with the phone, I have tried Win7 w/ Kies mini and installed/reinstalled drivers, dev mode, etc...nada. And here's the kicker - these machines will recognize and mount my GF's unrooted Vibrant just fine.
-I have a separate micro SD card reader that can read the SD card out of the phone that way.
-So, I am hoping for some help to either
1 - fix the computer recognition issue, or
2- find steps to manually update to 2.2 or unroot, etc, any ideas that will get me running 2.2 and hopefully mount to Mac or PC, using files manually loaded to the SD and installed during recovery mode, this looks like flashing, would Andromeda or Cognition fix the connectivity issue?
Thanks in advance!!
If you're rooted and can get into download mode (power off+2 volume buttons+plug usb in) then you can use this link ----> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702 to flash stock 2.2 firmware. Note: This WILL break your root. Here's the thread on Odin One Click as well---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989. You probably want to read the information there before flashing to 2.2.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the suggestion, I've tried multiple drivers, but since my PC doesnt recognize my phone, both Odin or Superoneclick dont recognize my phone also.
I was able to manually unroot by copying the One Click Root Update.zip to my phone via Wifi File-sharing app. Unroot was successful, but still no connection to PC or Mac.
I'm stuck for now, It appears that any type of flashing requires a PC connection, unless there is some way to flash completely with Wifi-copied files and using the 'reinstall packages' option?
Well, if you have a dropbox, you could drag and drop a rom (say cognition) onto your phone's dropbox. Then you'd need to find a CWM recovery (make sure it's not 3.0) update.zip and reinstall packages. This will give you CWM recovery, from which you could install Cognition from your dropbox. No guarantees it will work, but it's worth a shot.
Can't help on the Mac and I only have a dim memory of 2.1, but what are your setting under Settings/Applications for USB settings and Development? Do you have USB debugging checked (on)? Do you have the Development settings set to something weird like Kies update?
My recommendation is to put USB debugging on (checked). In that case I think the USB settings choice is disabled and therefore ignored. Then when you connect to the computer you will get a message in the notification bar on your phone saying something like "select to copy files to/from the computer". Click that, then click the mount button. You should then be able to see the extra drives on your computer by looking under My Computer or whatever (on a PC). On mine they are F and G, no special indications that they are drives on an attached phone. I also do get an automatic pop-up for the new drives, like when you insert a USB stick, but I imagine that setting could be disabled so look for the drives manually.
If you can get a com port try to do a master clear with the phone plugged in and on the entire time, then do various methods of getting into download mode if you got a com port when the phone booted up, future references I would use Odin to flash speedmod kernel to get cwm and then flash a rom or leave it as is, when I first started rooting I used the same software and got the same problem
Try installing all the drivers beforehand just to make sure

My wife's phone has the exact same issue as OP. Suggestions like above are useless unfortunately as the phone does not recognize that it is connected to a computer. Instead it acts as though it is connected to a charger. The oddest thing is that if I plug it in to a computer while the phone is turned off, the phone will turn on! However, still no recognition that it is connected to a PC.
Initially when I connected the phone the first time, Win7 said driver failed to install. Then my working cappy would not connect to Win7. I had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and restart. My working cappy connected as it should, but my wife's phone from that point refused to recognize anything but charging.
Attempts to fix Via external SD: (1) I transferred Continuum 4.1 and reinstalled. Still not recognized. (2) Transferred my recovery images from January for stock, but just became stuck on boot screen for Continuum. I am uneasy about transferring the update-recovery.zip and download folder from original backup as I do not know whether it will screw up attempts to re-enter recovery if it does not work. (3) Attempted download mode, but only works via CWM 2 (not extended menu or three button or by inserting battery with odin up trick). Even when in DL mode odin does not recognize the COM port. (4) Attempted different orders for connecting to Odin in DL mode. By orders I mean rearranging the order I connect (i.e. open odin then connect cable then go to DL). (5) transferred andromeda3 and reinstalled, still same issue.
So, I am left thinking a hardware failure occurred at some point, so I will need to open it up and check connectors to solder it possibly.
Possible non-hardware solution is to restore to stock somehow WITHOUT Odin via CWM. Anyone know if this is possible or have a link to a flashable zip?
Thanks!
edit: I am on Win7 and always made sure USB debugging was checked. Also I tried to connect via One-Click Root for the heck of it and kies mini. No luck.
flashed without a cable
Thanks for the tip jomeister 15, I was able to flash new roms dropped over wifi with CWM recovery. This got me onto 2.2 which was the main purpose of this whole adventure. I just loaded Andromeda3 and it's pretty darn impressive.
My PC and Mac still do not recognise my phone, I troubleshot extensively like Snowake and nothing is recognized. I'm convinced its a hardware issue but who cares with wireless flashing and file transfer.

You could try to send a ROM, kernel, and update.zip(CWM flash) and attempt to get another ROM over it. Format the system, wipe dalvik, I don't think its a hardware issue, I had the same problem first time I tried using 1 click rooting, I just waited patiently and got a com port after about two days, so that just leads me to believe some configuration file was corrupted during flash to stock, possibly flashing a ROM or reflashing the ROM you're on with a complete wipe of the system and user data and whatnot, or possibly just doing a backup up from cwm and immediately restore it, if its charging I highly doubt its hardware

Usb storage problem help!

Hi to all!
From Yesterday i have i sudden problem i never had.
When i connect my i9000 does not anymore show the 2 drives (usb storage of both internal external sd) on my computer.
I use Glitch kernel with latest cm7 kang.
When i connect the phone via usb to the pc,sometimes i get the erroe usb device not recognised (win 7 x64), and connects and disconnects randomly(always showing the error),other times doesnt do anything.
I tried cleaning the port,different pc usb port,different pc's, factory reset,different cable,older versions of glitch kernel or cm7.
Formatted also boot and system folders(of course also wipe data etc).
Installed kiss,boot the pc with phone off and then on.
Tried win7 x64 drivers.Sometimes i get on windows unknown device that i cannot find drivers that accepts.
On off usb debug mode and restart.
Nothing seems to work for me.
So id like to ask.....Should i try to go back on stock(firmware+kernel)?
And how is it done???
Or maybe its the port fault?
Any ideas?Noone?
Could someone please tell me how to go back on stock?
First to stock kernel then to stock firmware?
Thanks
The "device not revognised" error is related to USB debug mode, unless you have installed Google USB drivers.
Its not supposed to occur with debug mode=off.
Going back to stock (Leaked JVU) is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596
Thanks for the link.
Going back to stock worked for a friend of mine,which came today(he has the same phone with cm7.2 rco and glitch kernel but with usb port working)by simpling entering on download mode and flashing with odin.Drivers installed (from samsung drivers folder,after installing kies)
On my phone,on download mode,or it doesnt say anything or i get on pc the message uknown device,cannot install etc.If i try to manual push the drivers it says the device cannot start.
So it must be a hardware related problem no??
In this case ,because i am still on warranty,is there any other way (for example via cwm) to put stock firmware and kernel in order to claim warranty?
Many thanks for your posts.

[Q] Zero connectivity in download mode. £10 for solution. :)

Okay a little backstory:
I was on an early version of CM9 but as i am selling the phone i decided to put a more stable version of it on there and downloaded CM7 -stable.
I flashed this in CWM and it worked fine.
I gave it a quick test and noticed all the google apps were missing, most importantly the market. So i booted into recovery and realised i had forgotten to put the zip on the SD card.
I then went into mounts and mounted USB, nothing happened...
From that point onwards the phone would not talk to the PC. even if i booted up into the phone, it would just show it as charging. I could not find any options in the menus for USB options.
After some extensive reading, i tried a few things, none of them had worked. I found a post mentioning some kernels have issues with USB, so i downloaded the recommended one and flashed it in CWM.
After rebooting, CWM was now orange and not blue and the option to flash from external card has gone.
I have also done some digging and there is a good posibility that the kernal that i flashed was for the GT I9000 (which is the american one, right?)
So as it is at the moment:-
I can get into CWM.
I can get into download mode through the 3 button combo.
I can get into download mode using home made jig.
I can boot the phone, but it boot loops.
I can not get the phone to be detected on the pc.
Things i have checked:
Cable will connect other phones.
Tried different cable to be sure.
Phone used to be detected, but downloaded drivers through kies again to be sure.
Closed Kies using task manager.
Nothing is coming up in network connections in device manager when phone is connected.
I'm out of ideas now, so £10 PayPal donation for anyone that comes up with the solution to fix it
If i can get it detected, i can use Odin to flash what i want.
Sounds like a drivers problem. You may need the 'Google driver' developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
When I had bootloops when I first installed CM9 I used heimdall to flash a the stock CM9 kernel. This gave me back CWM.
heimdall flash --kernel 'kernel.zip'
In the commandline.
Thanks for that,
I already had the Google USB drivers from when i installed the SDK to make some apps.
So i then gave Heimdall a try (Graphical Version), it seemed to suffer the same problem.
Reporting "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I seem to remember the GUI saying I didn't have the correct drivers and it downloaded them for me.
The other thing worth a try is changing the USB port and reinstalling the correct drivers on that port.
I've not seen anything like that, it has not asked me for any drivers.
It's like the phone is not connected at all. nothing will detect it, i have even tried it on another PC.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by installing on a port.
Well sometimes changing USB port will allow you to install new drivers. Although if you've tried it in another computer and it doesn't work then changing port may not help.
Does the phone appear in device manager when it's connected and in download mode?
Nope. Not coming up at all in the device manager. It didn't when it was booting fine. And it still doesn't in download mode. :-( I'm thinking the usb connector on the phone might be faulty.
But it was working up until trying to mount the USB in CWM

I don't suppose you have access to a Linux PC do you? Windows USB drivers are notoriously sucky. If you could plug it into a Linux PC and type 'lsusb' at a command line, that would at least show you that the device is really there.
I think I have a spare pc kicking around that I could use. I'll give it a go when I get home tonight.

Remove all the drivers completely from device manager for Samsung, then install fresh drivers and connect the cable when in download mode, hopefully it will recognize it
Are you sure the connector is clean? e.g. maybe there's dust in it.
I had that problem once, the connector was full of fabric fibers from some coat's pocket I had the phone in.
Suggestion 1 (Linux): I installed ubuntu, did not detected anything to even install any drivers. Detected my new phone fine.
Suggestion 2 (Uninstall drivers from device manager): I could not find any drivers named with the name Samsung in there.
Suggestion 3 (Clean port): I have some compressed air that i sprayed inside, it does look pretty clean and will continue to charge but still not connection on the pc.
To install the drivers for heimdall you have to run zdiag from inside the driver folder. Had to do this earlier on, the phone the other appeared as something other than Samsung composite usb or whatever it normally says
I tried this, and it displayed 9 devices after selecting show all. I seemed to recognise all of the items in the menu.
To be sure, I then disconnected the phone and re ran it to see if one of the items were missing, but it was the same number.
I too had problem with the usb connection on my i9000, and I was pretty sure my usb connector on the phone is somewhat damaged since it sometimes can only go to charging mode without being detected by my pc as a usb device. CWM instal is fine but ODIN can only detect the phone without able to flash the rom to the phone. The flashing will always stuck at the message "Setting Up Connection", I waited for 15 minutes and the flashing will eventually died. I retry the odin flash for 40 to 50 times and eventually the flashing will go through one time. Tried heidmall command line and the result is the same.
I have problem with Odin in the past. I bought a new laptop, running Win7 64 bit. Installed Samsung Kies to install the correct USB drivers for the phone. Then made sure that Kies wasn't running in the background. So tried using Odin. Odin was detecting the phone, but it was hanging at initialising connection. Odin was working fine on my old laptop running Win7 32bit. Long story short, I was having a few issues with my new laptop, reinstalled Win7 64bit, now Odin is working fine, have flashed the phone a few times using the new computer.
After flashing which kernel you started facing this problem?
Wipe ur phone,re-flash CM7(flash the nightly 181,it's completely stable),uninstall KIES,uninstall old usb drivers,install these usb drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 ,check that USB storage mode is set as Mass Storage and then connect your phone. Also try enabling/disabling USB debugging

The point at which i could no longer mount the USB was when i selected "mount usb" from CWM. I later installed a new kernal which downgraded my CWM, removing the install from external SD option.
So I cant flash a re-flash a rom unless i can it onto the phone which without the USB working is near impossible.

You can directly download the ROM on your internal sd using dolphin browser or opera mobile
I can't do that either as the phone is currently boot looping.

GT-N7000 Usb Bricked !

I have been trying to find a solution for my usb bricked GT-N7000
I have rooted my stock GB rom and flashed a custom ICS rom which i cant remember since its been a long time.
I have wiped the rom too but after all the process phone was working flawlessly,
After a few months, i couldnt connect it to my laptop.
What i have done so far to fix,
1) Cleaned ports, no luck
2) flashed stock gb and ics roms, many other custom roms via mobile odin and cwm, no luck.
3) Checked eMMC bug threads and tried to look for a bad sector on my phone but all sectors were fine.
4) Tried to connect vie ADB but cant seem to get it working except wifi connection...
5) CWM can mount usb storage no matter which version i try.
6) Download mode doesnt trigger odin, despite the fact that i tried several usb cables on different pc's.
7) Factory reset, no luck.
8) Replaced the usb port, tried jig but no matter what i do, this cant seem to connect pc.
When I connect my Phone to the Computer via USB cable, my phone start charging and nothing else happens. My computer does not even show that I connected a USB device ( USB Debugging On / Off )
I would really appreciate if anyone can assist me about this brick-saga.
I know that this is a quite long post but i tried to be in details as much as possible.
