Note 5 (N920I) USB/OTG Issue [No computer will recognise the device] - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok ladies and gents,
I've been on a mission to root my Note 5 N920I for months now.
My problem is no computer will read/recognise the device. The Mac's seem to not even recognise it's plugged in, with Windows, no matter which driver I install it keeps telling me the "device descriptor failed blah blah blah". I managed to root my S4 very easily on Mac with Jodin3 so I know that it ain't no user error.
I've Googled and Googled ways to root without a computer or installing a custom recovery without root, but from what I understand I can't flash TWRP as recovery without a computer and therefore cannot root without a custom recovery.
I've Googled ways to fix the USB issue by making the xml file and putting it into the correct folder, but for that I need to be rooted. Right?
When she's plugged into a computer with USB debugging on or off nothing comes up in my notifications except for charging. I tried using the toolbox which I found on here (sorry can't remember the name) though it seemed like I was getting close, I couldn't get close enough before my temper got the better off me.
If my memory serves me correctly the OTG function worked when i first got the phone but didn't after the first update. My mate's Note 5 also has the same issue. I Googled it and seemed it was common issue on these phones.
I've tried to learn some Terminal/Command Prompt to see if I can fix it that way through Debian or whatever, only got as far as understanding it, kind of. Big ups to all you coders/programmers out there it really is an artform.
So PLZ PLZ can y'all help me, there has to be a way aside from setting this thing alight and getting a new phone.
My next mission, which I only embarked on a couple nights ago is unbricking my dad's Note 4 (N910G) that just hit the **** one day after spazzing out for a few days then would not turn on. I'm getting close though I haven't put much effort into that yet.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. ?

Anyone??

1)First of all have you enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking options enabled from developers options?
2)Install latest usb drivers for your model no on pc, use original usb cable to connect your phone
3) Try different usb hub-ports on your pc, it is recommended to use main-usb port to connect device properly which is mostly located backside of cpu cabinet
4)Does odin recognises ur device? If yes then you can flash twrp and cf autoroot both ( Sometimes Kies or smartswtich like programmes enforces device not be reognised, so uninstall them before trying to connect and flashing thorugh odin)
5)Try to update device drivers manually from Pc's administration
6) Try to connect your phone on another pc running windows and see if it recognises your device or not

I've tried all of that, i have a 09 Macbook Pro hand me down running Yosemite with Windows 8.1 Pro n just put Ubuntu on her today through Parallels. None of which recognise the phone being there.
I've plugged it into 2 HP PC's and both just keep telling "device descriptor failed". They're both kinda old too.
Unless someone has a specific driver they've made or found or could make me?? Clearly I'm a noob.
Closest I've found is https://github.com/452/USBHIDTerminal/wiki/How-to-enable-USB-host-API-support but still need root or system mounted as rw.
Any other ideas? Any ADB codes anyone could help me with ?

HELP just got my captivate!

hi ive searched for a few hours and tried so many different sequences her eon the forums and for some reason i cant get odin3 1.78 to recognize my captivate... otherwise i would have an awesome Cyanogenmod 7 on it.
i rooted it and installed clockwork from the thread "how to install roms" under the dev threads (the big sticky) then attempted to install a custom rom through clockwork and it failed. now my original rom is messed up. i can load into it but android.phone continuously closes...i cant get odin to see my phone thus i cant reflash the original firmware....
yes i have drivers installed.
yes i have the AIO toolbox.
now for some reason i cannot get Odin to recognize my phone AT ALL (download/recovery/loaded). ive literally tried everything i can think of and to be honest i hope someone here can make me look stupid and help me fix it . ive flashed roms before back in the day with my tilt and cliq. but ive been out of the game for a very long time and lemme tell you im completely lost feeling.
im on windows 7 ultimate x86 fully updated.
ill be glad to donate a little bit for some success on just getting odin to recognize because i have everything. its just that stopping me..
in the meantime my phone is just useless
It might be problems with usb port. Try different ports and/or a totally different computer. Make sure you have drivers according to your computer (32-bit /64). I don't really know why it isn't working.
im sure if he got cwm copied to the phone the USB works...
i have never heard of odin3 1.78
only 1.0 1.3 1.5 1.7 1.81 and 1.82
and some odins only work with some phones..
did this odin ever work for you? or never?
try this one...
no i used my laptop MicroSD then transfered into my root folder of my phone.
ive tried it on 4 computers in my house so far all windows 7 32 bit.
installed the drivers from the AIO and even KIE after seeing no results. ive tried different ports as well and thats the exact odin im using ;(
i also attempted XP compatability mode seeing on another thread windows XP worked for another user in a somewhat situation so im debating whether or not to dual boot XP just to fix my phone lol
so your computer doesnt even see it when you mount usb to copy files? not just odin? did it ever work?
i run windows 7 64 bit no probs.
EDIT... i just re-read your first post....
ODIN ONLY sees the phone in download mode. ONLY
no it doesnt see it at all i think im goin to uninstall drivers and reboot.
now it makes the sound that windows found it but i cant access it or visually see it as a mass storage device even when i specify the settings (disabling debug/enabling mass storage) and under download mode it just doesnt see it at all.
i think im going to get organized and correclty reinstall anything i might think may be an issue
also installing xp on a virtual box on my linux machine to my right
virtual machines and odin dont mix well
with linux use heimdall instead of odin. but the machine still needs to see the device.
and try the drivers from samsung.
USE THE ORIGINAL SAMSUNG CABLE!!!!!!!
some cheap cables, like the one for my bluetooth headset are power only usb cables. the other 2 data pins dont connect end to end!!!!!!!!
ahh maybe thats the problem, i happened to pick up my captivate from someone on criraglist just yesterday and it was just phone and charger. how can i tell if i have an original or not? and yea i tried the drivers from samsung for the galaxy S as well. i was so irritated earlier lol i took a break and came back to it
if windows doesnt beep when pluggin in, then the cable is probably no good...
or try the cable with another phone/ usb hard drive / some data device that takes that input....? or go to radio hack and pick up a new cable. if that doesnt work return it to the hack for your$$ back.. if it does work its worth the 15-20$...
or maybe the phone has a dead usb port... that has happened to some people
okay i found a cord that gives me "usb device not recognized" when im loaded into my phone fully and select mass storage. this is after i installed the samsung driver exe 32 bit for my 32 bit windows 7.
looks like windows 7 attempts to install drivers for "mass storage device" and it fails.
my windows will fail on phone boot a few times because the phone cycles thru different modes.. adb and download mode work on different drivers...
remember to mount to see sd card on pc...
but at least you are getting something now... maybe now is the time to try other pcs..
just throwing out some ideas its getting late.... lol
lol yea thanks man ill reinstall android sdk and java se and see if i can get the adb to be seen and try different drivers for now. thanks for helping me ill donate to you in the end even if we cant get it but man my phone is wacked, all the services are force cosing on it. its so useless right now

thats what im getting in every port on my laptop.
okay man i got it.. i rebooted my pc after uninstalling EVERYTHING (java sdk,eclipse, android sdk, AIO Captivate toolbox, all drivers known to man that dealt with the phone) then logged back in, i downloaded and loaded up UVCView.x86 and tried my phone on every single usb port on my laptop while disconnecting ANY other device thats including my mouse and for some reason my captivate only worked on 1 usb port that was on the side of my laptop (left side) and would only make a (ding dong) sound if my external was detached from my laptop (weird) but wouldnt install drivers still. reinstalled the set of drivers needed and installed AIO captivate toolbox, nothing happened. so i put my phone in download mode and i went into the Compatibility options for the AIO toolbox and set to run as windows xp SP3 + checkboxed run in 256 color, Disable visual themes, Disable desktop composition, Disable scaling on high DPI settings and run as Administrator Then doubled clicked/loaded it up. sure looked like utter crap but my phone was seen by windows and sure enough it had 2 drivers it installed. i went into flash to stock and COM 3 came right up i cried with happiness and i flashed faster than my eyes blink while on a cup of sugar. then i went ahead and tested the com 3 detectability under Odin (i set odin with the EXACT same compatibility mode settings as the AIO - i used odin by itself just for testing) and COM 3 was instantly seen. after flashing to stock and making sure eveyrthing was okay, i went ahead and installed the speedmod kernel and yet again windows 7 x86 recgonized the device and it installed about 7 different drivers! i should be okay from here im not totally noobed feeling now.
Thanks for stickin by my side for the information and support TRusselo ill donate to you for that.
PS : i think im going to research for a week or two on getting what i ned for my linux box in the near future lol
congrats!!!!
yep yep, got cyanogenmod 7 running great, sure is a battery killer though, seriously im afraid of leaving the house with this lmao. my next paycheck be sure to see a donate from dahrat

Problem making pc to recognize phone.

Hello ppls.
I've read some similar threads about this problem, tried some solutions, didn't worked and they didin't really had my situation.
So lets begin. My phone isn't recognized by my computer of anysort. When i plug the device i get this error: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) .Tried solutions for the error with no succes.
I run Windows 7 64 bit,4gb Ram, Intel Quad Core 2,2 Ghz. I downloaded the drivers for the device from samsung, bummer when i manually try to update the drivers and set the path to where the drivers are it says The device is already up to date,even with online search.
What i've tried so far:
1. Tried in normal condition with KIES. Debugging off.
2. Debuggind on. Same
3. Different PC with windows 7 32 bits, same error, same solutions that don't work
4. Updating .Net framework
5. Installing a program that automaticly detects drivers. It didnt even see it.
6. Checking the cable for corrosion or anything else faulty. Cleaned it even.
7. Yelling are the stupid phone !!
Thank you.

Have you tried with a different USB cable?
No because i connected succesfully my friends galaxy fit with it, so the cable is not the problem.
thry manualy installing galaxy s drivers on pc?
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
Try different drivers.
Make sure you're using a Samsung wrong with the Samsung drivers.
Use a different PC.
Keep trying!
I gave up...I tried everything.Spent hours of searching forums and applying solution, nothing works... Tried On 3 different pc's. 1 with win 7 64bit, and the rest win 7 32 bit. I can't manually install the drivers either. Says there are already up to date when i set a location for the drivers to detect...I can't even use it as mass storage.

To try using different drivers you would need to uninstall the current driver.
And just to be sure, you didn't flash to CM7/MIUI recently, not realizing Samsung drivers won't recognize your phone anymore, right? Nexus S drivers for those ROMs.
Its on the original ROM i think. Recently bought it second hand, 1 year old.
I couldn't find different drivers...except 32 bit and 64bit, but they all are the same version. Maybe post a link or something. Mine are 1.4.4.
Firmware version: 2.3.3

Just for future reference, this site is filled with tutorials on how to do just that. In fact, that is what this site is all about—new ROMs, new ideas, and how to get them onto your device. Look around next time.

Dude i'm not the kinda of guy that doesn't research first. Like i mentioned i tried everything i found with no effect. The thing is, the problem reappeared after a day, with the new rom. Took it back to the service, said its a virus from some apps i installed...Is it possible? Thing is, it worked even after i restored all my apps.
I couldn't change the rom either because neither Odin or Heimdall saw my phone, if that is what you reffered to. If you know how to resoft a phone without the pc recognizing it (not even as a composite USB device in download mode or debugmode) and just Showing in Odin or Heimdall "Unknown Device" and failed at installing ClockworkMod, be my guest and redirect me to the tutorial, or tell me how to do it.
Thx

Throw it against the wall then. You ask us for help, disregard all of it, and then update us on what the service desk told you. If you will only listen to them, then don't ask us, kay? Appreciated.
Hi, there.
Actully, the rahbert's question is not bad. How can i use Mobile Odin if i can't root the device?
Or, how can I root without PC? Is it possible? I have exactly the same problem:
Nexus S (I9020), ICS 4.0.4(stock). When I plug the device: the error is reported(Code 43).
Should I try wipe data/factory reset? I really don't want to do this, because there is another good question: How can I fully backup my data(Titanium and so on) without root access? Can you suggest me something? Thanks.

Can't connect to PC via USB

Help!
My optimus 2x is not detected when I plug it to my laptop via USB.
Turn on mass storage" in the phone does not appear, it's like I'm just plugging in into a wall charger.
It could connect just a few days before, same laptop, same drivers (LG mobile united drivers)
Have tried it with 3 different laptops, still can't connect (drivers are installed)
A google search reveals other people having the problem as well and unable to solve it.
Can't return it yet for warranty because superuser app is still there.
Originally, I rooted it using superoneclick. Can't unroot it in superoneclick since not detected in USB.
So i unrooted it using z4root (without a pc). It's now unrooted, however superuser app is still in the app drawer.
Any advice?
Hi, I have the same problem and I posted question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274379
Maybe some answers can help You but in my case nothing helped until one day it suddenly started to work again.
Well it was working both on my home and business laptop until few days ago when it stopped. I can+t make it to work again, and I've tried last advice there to remove battery for about 20 min.
I think problem is in the phone, because one day when it started ti work again on my business laptop it was also working on my home laptop without any action taken.
Please help!
P.S. I can hope that when GB will be available through OTA (I can't count on update tools because my phone is not detected), it will solve the problem
Thanks. Will try those suggestions. Not sure if i can update to gingerbread OTA. Theres no OTA update in my menu.
Hi,
I have the same problem as well. Nothing shows up in Device Manager, no notification when I plug in the phone. Just charging.
It was working just fine right out of the box, even before I installed any LG drivers, but it's suddenly just stopped being detected by the computer. Mass storage only or usb debugging makes no difference.
The problem is not with any of my USB ports, as other devices work just fine when plugged in (my iPod pops right up in Device Manager). I've reset the phone to factory stats, tried with other computers, downloaded the most recent drivers as well as the LG Mobile Support Tool.
I've googled extensively, only to find that a lot of other people have the same problem, but no working solutions.
I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Same issue.
Even on cwm and i can't make software update (power + vol- = reboot loop).
So i use adb tcpip...
I think i should try a stock/modaco before send it to after sales service
Thanks michoux.
Can you point me to instructions on flashing via adb tcpip?
edit:
Just did some googling. it seems device needs to be rooted for adb via tcp ip to work right?
Unless there's a way to root without pc then I can't do anything. (z4root doesn't work).
Damn, first mistake i did was to unroot.
do you already have installed the driver?? if already install remove it first and then reinstall the driver
check out this link maybe can help

Computer doesn't detect P990 through USB

Ok guys I'm a noob around here. I've had my P990 for about 7 months and I'm ready to throw it against the wall:crying: I've been searching for info on this type of fault and I read that it happens pretty often. I really didn't have the need to plug my phone to my computer, so I never did, until about two days ago I decided I was bored with my stock phone and decided to install the latest version of android, so I downloaded the LG IV suite. Installed it, I'm following the directions, connect my phone and bam, NOTHING I kept getting an error on the LG suite, can't find phone, check connection and try again. At this time I also notices that my phone was charging through the USB cable. So my basic troubleshooting techniques kicked in, and performed the basic steps:
-Made sure Mass storage only box is checked
-Switched USB cable
-Re-installed the driver
-Downloaded the latest driver from LG website
-Downloaded drivers recommended by XDA
-Tried two other computers with two different OS
So none of this worked:crying:
After monkeying around for a couple of hours with my phone, I read somewhere on this forum to take out the battery, connect to USB cable to your computer, hold down the power and volume down buttons at the same time, this would put my phone in some mode, I don't know what that mode is, but decided to do it. My phone powers up, then I see the green android little man with a white box and an arrow coming out of the box. Ok, finish doing it's thing and then it reboots. I go into my phone and find that everything has been erased and the phone was back to it's original state when I received it over the mail.
Since my phone is back to stock, I decided to go the root road. Downloaded SuperOneClick, installed it connect my phone via USB and I'm back to step one. I get nothing!!! So then I decide to go the root flash road. So I downloaded the z4root adk file and put in the flash, pop the flash in my phone and nothing. Can't see my flash card on my phone (never used an SD card on my phone and decided to buy one for this instance). Kept reading on-line and found that I need a file manager application, so I installed Linda Manager on phone, opened the z4root adk file and installed on my phone. So now I'm getting very excited and I'm giggling like a school girl because I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. So I run the z4root application and go with permanent selection, the application start the root, then BAMMMMMMM. The application just stops and my phone takes me to my home page. I decide to restart the z4root application and I can't get the app to run. I re-booted my phone, restarted the app, and keep getting stuck. The app stops and I can't never successfully get a root. I'm out of ideas, I've going at it with my phone for two day and reading on the net.
The two thing I want to accomplish is to be able to use my phone via the USB cable and to root my phone. Can you guys point me in the right direction. At this point I'm willing to try anything on my phone since everything got erased.
by the way here's is what stock I'm running on my phone:
Android version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Built number: FRG83G
LGE version: LGP990-V10d
My computer is running Windows Vista, I also tried a Window 7 and a Windows XP computer and still nothing for the USB.
I would appreciate any help guys, throw me a bone over here:laugh:
Same thing happened to my friend. No USB detection (the phone was charging through usb but nothing showed up on the pc). He tried everything then he called me (I have o2x too) , i tried everything you did too. His pc detected my o2x , but when he connected his (on the same cable) ... nothing .
Finally he remembered the phone had warranty and took it to tech suppport. First they reflashed it , but when he tried it home ... nothing . He took it to support again , they kept it for about 10 days and told him they had to change the motherboard.
Phone works now.
He was on stock froyo too , Vodafone Romania version.

Sorry for the bump, but I got some update.
when dialing the above mentioned 1809#*990# in the Port menu, switching from default AP USB to AP/CP UART gave me life signs.
After switching to AP UART I linked the Unknown device driver to lgusbdiag.inf located in C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/LG United Mobile Driver.
Suddenly it started installing it and is now recognized as: LGE Platform Android USB Device.
Once disconnected I lose USB again, I'm able to recreate the first steps though even in default AP USB mode by now.
The only thing I need USB for is for flashing a custom recovery but the only thing I don't have is ADB somehow : / Clockwork telling me: device not found.
Any help on this one?

I get the exact same symptom, as soon as I change from AP USB to AP/CP UART, my battery icon on my phone goes to charging, without the being plugged in
Well I'm pretty tired of monkeying around with this phone, but I really like phone and really don't want to change model. So I decided to order a brand new one:laugh:
I should be getting it within the next two week, hopefully that doesn't give me the same problem
I'll keep you guys updated.
Help??
A very good friend of us noobs toying with our O2x's are Paul O'Brien.
I could not get any other flashing tool to root my O2X other than his. Here is link to his guide:
modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/#entry1645587
He also has the tool to completely restore your O2X back to factory standards, and in the O2X forum here you will find all the different stock roms, you need to get your phone back to these factory standards and restore your warranty.
After you flashed your phone and get ready to try all the marvellous ROMs, waiting on the other side, I can only recommend to purchase the PRO version of Clock Work Mod, it really brings out the fun in rooting your phone.
Seeing your description of your troubles, I think you have softwareproblems, more than hardware problems, so a complete flash and maybe restore, will likely solve many if not all of your problems.
Best regards
Mike
And dont forget to show your support to the developers, they do a marvellous job for us!!!
Thanks mike,
I followed the link you provided and did a lot of reading. So decided to try that method. No luck with that, my computer doesn't detect APX mode while holding down both volume keys. I tried it like 10 times every time holding the keys at different intervals. I even tried it on my wife's laptop running windows 7, didn't work either.
I did find a lot of good info on the link you posted.
Thanks, just waiting on my new O2x to come in the mail.
Possible solution
Some days ago, I also had a problem connecting my LG Optimus 2X to my PC (Windows 7).
I solved my problem using this instructions I found in the G2X forum, by conspirator_boff user (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15899923&postcount=10)
Similar issue. This worked for me on Win 7.
Uninstall the LG Drivers and reinstall the G2x 2.2 package from LG.COM /us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp (I can't post links)
Plug the phone in and go to Device Manager. There should be a USB Composite Device that is not properly installed. Right click it and select Update Driver Software.
Select 'Browse my computer', then 'Let me pick'. Choose have disk, and browse to where the LG Drivers are installed. Likely C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG United Mobile Driver\ and select lgbus9x.inf.
Then pick LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device from the list of drivers. Should be the top option. Hit next.
I let it sit for a minute while the drivers installed. Some things registered in device manager right away, the LGE USB Modem for one. But, the drives didn't. Unplugged the phone, plugged it back in, and the drives popped up under Portable Devices.

I think it's an issue from the newest LG Drivers because when I first tried to connect it a year ago I had no problems.
Hope it helps.

I did find a lot of good info on the link you posted.
Thanks, just waiting on my new O2x to come in the mail.

Good luck and I hope your new phone will behave properly.
Remember Paul also has tools for bringing your phone back to factory standards, so you keep your warranty.:good:
Enough said, good luck and remember our O2X is probably one of the easiest phones to try out different ROMs at and I have never enjoyed this little gadget as much as after I flashed it!!:

Sorry guys for the late update.
I received my new P990 about two weeks ago. As soon I pluged the phone into my computer it started installing the drivers and I was able to use my phone via the USB cable. Another thing I noticed, on this new phone when I pluged the USB cable, I noticed it went in nice and firm, on my old phone the cable seemed to be a little loose. Anyway it was definately a hardware issue with my phone. I'm pretty happy with 2x.

USB Device not recognized (device descriptor failed)

Okay so I am well aware that there are hundreds upon hundreds of articles in different Threads Online about a similar issue. That being pretty much what the title says... " USB device has malfunctioned", "USB device not recognized", "device descriptor has failed (43)" and, in Linux, "unable to enumerate USB device" and then it gives readers at different numbers every time I unplug and replug it.. okay so now for the fun part...
This is a customer's phone (SM-N920X) and they have an issue with the factory reset protection on the device. This device, to be more specific, is using the carrier c-spire and is the SM-N920R7 but at this point that really doesn't make a difference.
WHAT I'VE TRIED SO FAR:
The device fails in Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on every USB port front and back and even a USB 3.0 PCI port. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers countless times on this particular machine and obviously to no avail. I have also tried this phone and a Windows 7 32 bit installation with the same issues. I then tried phone on my Linux box and when I run the DMESG command I get "unable to enumerate USE device, read failure at address XX"
So I then tried it in my Windows 8.1 Asus mini Netbook thingy with the exact same result as all the other windows installations. And just to be sure I tried it also on a Windows 10 32-bit installation with the same outcome. I have tried seven or eight different USB cables and tried all available USB ports on each of the machines listed above. The Note 5 charges just fine when you plug it in. I have tried cleaning up the charging port, adding a key in the registry with a binary that resembles this: SkipBOSDescriptorQuery 0000 01 00 00 00
I have try to use Smart Switch and Samsung Kies letting those programs uninstall and reinstall the drivers each time and again used multiple different cables. I know it is not the ports or the cables because my Galaxy S6 works just fine as did an S7 that I plugged in as well. I cannot reflash the stock firmware to the phone because it will not be recognized by my computer. The only thing I have access to is stock recovery and download mode do to the FRP lock. I have tried wiping data/ factory reset. Wiping cache apply update from Cache, apply update from external storage (cannot mount sdcard error), apply update from ADB (device null/not found when running tmadb sideload "package"..
What the hell can I do? I've never experienced such a pain in the ass phone issue than the one I'm dealing with currently. Please somebody help me LOL.:crying::crying::crying:

Your problem is a hardware related issue.. I had this problem once before and I had to open the back of the phone using a heat gun to loosen the glue and then replace the charging port itself!! Nothing else worked and I mean NOTHING but replacing it!!

Hey thanks for the reply . The phone had FRP triggered so I couldn't do much besides download and recovery mode but I did manage to bypass the FRP the old-fashioned way ! Good old trial and error/tinkering got the job done..You are absolutely correct though I updated the phone to no avail but after all the BS I went through trying to get it to work while FRP=on, I didn't try too hard after LOL.

I'm going to assume it's not a Verizon or AT&T locked down pos and if that's the case, you probably could have just used "fastboot oem unlock" or just used fastboot to flash different firmware by going fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and so on with the other files and wouldn't have had to much trouble lol..
When my charging port went out nothing could "see" it, not the desktop computer not the laptop not even my other phone using a wire to connect both phones together and it wouldn't even charge which is why I figured it needed to be replaced and after I did replace it everything worked fine again.
Enumeration, unfortunately, is a prerequisite in order for one to take full advantage of the fastboot commands...

HI, I have same problem here. Tmobile note 5 on latest firmware. Not rooted. Did you fix the problem?? if so how...???
I"m going crazy here too!!!

How do you flash anything if you can't connect the phone to pc????
Short answer: You don't.
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
Having said that, there are alternative methods but you said you were not rooted currently so Flashfire is out of the question. I thought of searching for an app that will let you connect to ADB ever Wi-Fi without having to First connect to the computer via USB but I never looked into it. I was never able to flash anything I just bypass the FRP and took OTAs. You could try your luck at different one click root applications but I was unsuccessful with the new version of kingroot. If you can manage to get root access then you could use the official TWRP app to install recovery or use Flashfire to flash whatever you want but like I said it's a was a customer's phone so after I got the FRP done I didn't really didn't look into it anymore.

no. I bypassed frp the old fashioned way by connecting the frp locked phone to my mobile hotspot and then as soon as you see the phone switch from checking connection to software update kill your hotspot so it loses connection. the phone will give you an error that says it could not connect to network or something like that but then will allow you to Progress little bit further forward in the menus. when it asks you to set up a pin code for your lock screen do that. now when you lock and then unlock the phone you will have a lock screen and a camera icon in the bottom right corner swipe the camera to take a picture take a picture of anything and then choose to share the picture. there are many options in there and a couple of them will bring you to the screen to setup your Samsung account. either login to your Samsung account or create a Samsung account and then use it's application search feature to find the quick shortcuts application or any application that will allow you to go into the settings of the phone and I'm sure you can figure out the rest from there. it was a customer's phone so I just bypass the FRP and told him his phone won't connect to a computer didn't worry about the port

So a month ago I purchased a used n920c and decided to root a few days ago. Come to find out I cant connect to pc in any way but will boot. So I have ordered a replacement usb board. A few mins ago I watched the how to video and must say this is not going to be fun. I did get the back off already (without breaking) and now just waiting on the part to come from china (no usa dealers had one for 920c).
Anyone here replaced the usb board yet? Got any hints besides watch videos.
I have one S7 930F like this too. I still have TWRP recovery, I can put custom ROM in CF card from computer. Then flash it in TWRP. The port still can do charge, seems it is low level USB firmware in the phone having issue.
