Just a quick question- I have a Captivate that will charge when plugged in via USB but there is no data connection. The phone doesnt recognize that its plugged in to a computer, and therefore despite being able to boot into download and recovery mode, I cannot use ODIN to do anything. Clockwork wont work either due being on 2.2.
Ive read some other threads where most concluded it is more or less a hardware failure. Im coming to that conclusion myself, but wanted to check with you guys first. The audio jack did the same thing for a couple days-- it wouldn't work when plugged in. It did come back on its own, though Im not sure why.
Im running Cognition 2.2beta3, and cannot flash back to a stock rom nor to any other rom due to the lack of being able to use ODIN.
Is there any other way to flash back without ODIN? Also, if this is indeed a hardware failure- how can I go about getting it fixed? I traded for it on craigslist for an iPhone 4 so I didnt get it direct from AT&T. It did work for the first couple months.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Do you have USB debugging enabled (Settings-Applications-Development)?
If so, you won't get the connection choice screen when you plug in your USB. You can either disconnect USB debugging to get the choice screen, or leave USB debugging enabled and click on the "Select to copy files" choice in notifications.
I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and in various USB modes. None work, as the Captivate doesnt even acknowledge theres a data connection that has been made.
It worked in the past in all modes... debugging with the option to mount the drive, mass storage, Kies, and the media mode. No dice at the moment. Tried a hard reset today... nothing.
Looks like it could be a hardware issue-- just weird as the audio jack had the same issue and seemed to (randomly) resolve itself. Thanks for the suggestion! Any other ideas?

I had the exact same issue as you few days ago. One forum member recommended to me to uninstall the Samsung USB driver and reinstalling it again. It worked as soon as I did this. You should give it a try.
I had a similar issue when performing a master clear and flashing JI6. I am on windows 7, and I noticed that a different driver is needed to use Odin in download mode. I had been sideloading apps as well as transferring files with the stock driver from samsung, but my computer still wouldnt recognize the phone when in download mode. The solution was quite simple, when entering download mode my computer gave me the "driver not found" messege. I just let Windows Update find the right one for me (not sure if its generic or not) and everything worked fine after that. Hope this was relevant to your issue.
And I guess you can't do the phone off, open Odin, plug in USB with vol up/down pressed, right?
Not sure if this will help, but I bought a second USB cable to carry in my laptop case. If I use it I can charge the phone but cannot connect it to a PC. If I use the one that came with the phone it works fine.
I have actually tried some other cables and they have issues too. They all have a larger cable housing towards the end that plugs into the phone, where the one that comes with the phone is slimmer.
A friend at work as a Fascinate and he has the same issue, we suspect that the increased size is keeping the usb from connecting all the way in the phone.
Ive tried different computers and different cables, as well as different drivers. Ive used 64bit systems and 32bit systems... XP and Vista.
The phone itself goes into download mode, though I have to go through the terminal and use 'reboot download'. I cant use command line on the computer as it doesnt find the device... the phone never is identified to it. It just charges.
Is there any way to perform the commands that ODIN does without actually using ODIN? If nothing else, Id like to flash back to JF6 and be able to use the OTA updates. At this point, Im stuck till clockwordmod works with 2.2.
I experienced the same thing. My Captivate would charge, but it couldn't connect to any of three computers (WinXP w/drivers, Mac OS X, and Linux) with either of two micro usb cables I had. I would always get a USB error in some form.
I was on cog 2.1, and was able to roll back to the JH7 OTA update without ODIN. Afterward I brought it to an ATT Tech Center and convinced them it was a hardware failure.
I got a warranty replacement, and it didn't work either.
It turned out to be bad micro usb cables. One was the original Samsung cable, but it was loose, there was plenty of play and wiggle in the sockets of both phones.
The best micro usb cable I've found is from a Kindle. It has a a larger plastic base than the stock from Samsung, but critically it has a longer connector. There's a solid click when connected and absolutely no play or wiggle possible. It works every time.
I don't know if you can restore from 2.2 to JH7 without ODIN. Now that we have 2e Recovery on Froyo (in Cog 2.2 BETA6), could you use Clockwork Mod (Rom Manager) to flash designgear's JH7 OTA ROM?
Try some alternate micro USB cables, you might be surprised!
Im having the same issue, was there any resolution to this from the OP??
I suspect hardware also, and Ive got another Micro USB on order from Amazon and will prob buy one from a store tomorrow also.
the stock cable is horrible, I bought a nice charger the other day and it has a nice click and stay, and since I plugged it in to the new charger it no longer shows up on any computer with the stock cable. Im wondering if the new charger with a tad larger connector spread the connectors just a tad too far for the stock cord.
I tried everything as well, I hard rebooted, put into recovery mode and even deleted all my user data to try and see if there was some software that was blinding the computer to the connection... no luck
Ill let you know what I find.
Same issue here. Has anyone had any luck with a new usb cable? Luckily, I can transfer files from my computer via bluetooth for now, but it takes forever!
I flashed this ROM as per instructions in the thread and after enabling fast charge, my usb port seems broken.
The ROM uses semaphore kernel and I enabled fast charging using semaphore script app. I tried it out and disabled it from the same app. It still shows disabled but neither of my computers will recognize my device (winXP and win7, neither one makes the typical sound when the phone is plugged in).
I have 3 data cables that all work fine on my Gateway tablet (acer iconia clone) on both computers, so I feel very certain that it is the device.
Some things I have tried so far to fix it based on various forum digging;
-enabled and disabled USB debugging mode (apparently usbd has to be on for mass storage mode in ICS)
-wiped NSTools settings with CMW recovery
-tried turning off fast charge with NSTools app ( cannot find it as an option)
-tried some command in Terminal Emulator ( su, then echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge?blah blah I forget what the exact command lines were but they were not successful)
-restored Nandroid backup of prior cm7 (almost shat as I bootlooped going back again to this ics ROM since I cannot use ODIN to fix it)
Thankfully I am running the ROM I believe I will stay with for awhile, I can access my phone with airdroid and I recall reading about a wifi adb one time but having USB Mass storage again would be a huge plus!
Yes I realize that I was stupid to enable Fast Charge mode that has in capital letters beneath the checkbox-USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! But if anyone can help me I would be eternally grateful, I will even send you some beer money or donate to the charity of your choice as I am completely stumped by this problem.
Cheers
well FML if it wasn't the data cable. I have multiple LG and Blackberry cables that work with every other device in the household (we have 7 or 8 total devices).
I found my Samsung cable under the couch and gave it a try, and it worked. I must have flashed with ODIN the first time using the samsung cable and didn't take note of which one I used. The only difference between the Samsung cable is that the micro-usb end of it really snaps into place one plugged into an actual Samsung device.
I hope somebody is helped by this in the future. When you think you have tried everything (including turning it off and on again ), try another data cable.

Also having this issue with Semaphore and fast charge. Will try another cable. Dirty flashed AOKP to the stock kernel that has no fast charge option and it still doesn't work. Searching for my samsung cable right now. Sadly this BB microUSB cable was the only one that worked with odin with no issue.
Hi, did you find any solution to this issue? I've been experiencing the same problem on my Nexus 4
Edit: Okay. Just read your post properly to find out that using a different cable solved your problem. But mine just won't work no matter what cable I use
I've been showing off the Nexus Media Importer, also using for practical purposes. Got a right-angle OTG cable off Amazon, paid too much, but it worked perfect with the mini-16gb flash drive in it. It also work with a card reader no problem. This was rooted on 4.2 using NMI 3.2.2. No problems, great program.
Then I saw there was an update to NMI 4.0. Installed it and now NONE of my USB devices show up. Always says "No Device. Click Scan to Retry". It used to just pop up automatically when I plugged it in. No longer.
I downloaded USB Device Info.
On the Android side, nothing shows up. On the Linux side, usb1 shows up, looks like the internal USB hub. Oddly enough when I plug my OTG USB cable in, a usb2 also shows up on the linux side. All output is identical except for the device where it said usb1 for the usb1 device, it shows usb2. So there's SOME data communication taking place it seems.
I've rebooted, I've discharged and recharged, I've made sure everything is plugged in tight. I am on 4.2 rooted, and have been since before I even installed NMI 3.2.2. The developer is helping but he seems to be in head-scratching mode right now. So, anyone got ideas? This was no the el-cheapo $0.80 USB OTG cable from Hong Kong, I paid quite a bit to get it from Amazon. That said it probably is the exact same cable but I digress. On the off chance that the cable suddenly died the moment I updated NMI, I've ordered another cable (this time a cheap one, but still the right angle).
Please anyone have help? I need this program to work!
Edit: FWIW I saw that Stickmount got updated to support 4.2. Downloaded and installed it. It also doesn't see my flash drive (which was working fine 2 nights ago). Did my OTG just die or did something screw up my devices? I hate to do a hard reset and go through and reconfigure everything, even with TiBu backups.)
I know this doesn't help you, but FWIW, NMI 4 is working fine now 4.2 for me, so it is definitely something on your end.
Do Windows machines see the usb drives ok?
Do you have another device to test the OTG cable with on your phone like a game pad or a Canon DSLR?
I'd suspect the OTG cable...
Windows sees the drive and the card reader just fine, the two devices that were working. I got a new OTG on the way, even though this was brand new, and no, I I don't have any other device to test it on. Also I tried stickMont since its supposedly 4.2 friendly now and It doesn't see anything either. If the new otg doesn't work guess I'll back everything up and factory reset.
Edit: Actually a factory reset will only clear the data - won't reset the system device files will it? I'll need to get a full 4.2 image and put it on, I guess with Wug's, it's what I used before, then re-root, and restore everything with Titanium Backup. Man I hope it's just the cable. It was only 3 days old tho!
Bad cable! Got a new cable and it's fine.

I have researched the issue of my Note 5just being able to slow charge via USB, and not be able to do anything else. I have tried all the proposed solutions I found, but can not fix the issue. The things that I have noticed to not work are:
Fast Charge: Cable and USB charging is detected, but cannot fast charge. I have tried the same charger and cable on other S7 edge, and it able to Fast charge. Fast charging is enabled in the battery menu
Connect to PC: Whenever connected to any PC, the PC shows “USB Device Not Recognized." I have the latest version of Smart Switch and the latest drivers. I have tried multiple computers and windows 7, 8 and 10. I have also tried to connect to the PC when the phone is in Download and Recovery mode and get the same error.
Connect to any OTG peripheral: Nothing is detected by the Note 5. Same cable working on other device.
Connect to Gear VR: When connecting to Gear VR, it gives the chime, the black screen with the little x in the corner appears for a second and then it goes back to the home screen.
What I have tried to do to fix:
Different cables/chargers/USB ports
Checked if any of the 5 pins are broken in the cable
I have lifted the tongue of the charging port in the phone via tooth pick
Done a factory reset
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried different 2A charging bricks? A regular 1A charger would still take a long time to fully chargeNote5.
You could also be looking a bad USB-port or a faulty battery, both of which would be covered under warranty provided no large physical damage is evident on your device.
Thanks for the reply. I have tried the original Samsung charger, 2A, 1A, and 0.5A charging bricks, but the phone shows either Cable or USB charging.
About the faulty battery, will that cause the PC and other peripherals to not detect the phone?

Same happened to me two days ago. I restored an old backup, done a factory reset and restored my actual rom again and problem solved. Idk what the problem was related to. Try wiping cache again, maybe it helps.

I have done a wipe from TWRP, but the issue was not fixed. I can not change ROMs etc as I can not connect the Note 5 to the PC via USB cable, even in TWRP.
Was your phone just not Fast Charging, or it wasn't being recognized by the PC, etc.
Thanks
Actually y have the same problem, unfortunately I don't have root access.
Try the app called USB host check, maybe they can help you.
Is not possible to me because the PC don't detect the phone connection and obviously I can't make the root.

I have the same issue tried the same fixes. No luck. Have you found a solution please?
I ultimately had to change the motherboard. Changing the charging port did nothing.
However, I suspect it was a corrupted firmware. If you can somehow flash a latest stock firmware and check, that would be great.
In trying to fix the firmware I had corrupted Stock ROM. Since I could only use WiFi to transfer files via WiFi FTP type apps, and I didn't have a working ROM backup on my phone, after the Stock ROM was corrupted, I could not upload any new files to flash with TWRP so I had to change the motherboard.

Hi, i have the same issue as you, i'm currently thinking try to fix this by replacing the usb charging port circuit board, you think this should work or not??

If you see the "USB Device Not Recognized" message when you connect to the PC, then I think the charging port is fine. It is some issue with the firmware as phone is not able to provide the correct PID and VID to the peripheral devices to identify itself. The charging port and its circuit doesn't hold that info. If possible, try to flash a stock firmware from TWRP as ODIN will not work (I am not aware of the exact procedure). Just MAKE SURE you have make a backup of your current setup and leave it on the phone as if you have an unsuccessful flash, you will not be able to use ODIN or ADB as your cable will not work.

I've messed up, I've already clear the cache, Dalvik , Data and System without having backup Rom/firmware in my internal memory. I've try using OTG. Still no hope. Twrp won't regconized it. :crying:
If there no hope to solve this... I think ,I will sell my note5 for replacement parts , sadly.

I got into the same problem. I then ordered a replacement motherboard from China and installed it. After that it is working flawlessly.
I'm in same predicament pc won't recognize phone and charging is extremely slow. Attempting to restore old twrp backup or flash older firmware. Crossing fingers

Are you still interested in selling the phone?
Same problem but with 2 phones
My note 5 and my friends S6 edge were totally fine, but on our farm (which now i found that has a low voltage eccentricity at around 190 V), we put them on my charger (the original charger that came with the note 5) and both of our phones now have the same problem, they charge very slowly ( up to 6 hrs for a full charge) and are not detected by any pc using 3 cables that work with other phones normally, the charger itself is okay, and works well with other devices (at home of course, and fast charge works with other devices).
I have tried everything, restart, safe mode, delete cache, charge while its off.. with a number of chargers and cables, it does not make any difference.
If any one knows how to fix this, your help is appreciated.
Mine is a little different, My Note5 is not charging at all via USB but works fine with wireless charging. In short, even if i plugged it via PC or via charger, it does not charge anymore.
But I noticed something, when I am in TWRP recovery, my USB OTG drive is readable and when i am in download mode, Odin reconizes the Note5's COM port. I did a reflash of the stock ROM hoping this will do the trick. but it failed. still does not charge at all via USB.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance. all answers appreciated.
this seems like you have faulty usb port .
A few days ago I bought a used S10 with Android 11 (Build: RP1A.200720.012.G973FXXU9EUA4, Stock ROM).
The previous owner rooted the S10 via Magisk because he had problems with Android Auto and his car stereo.
Root didn't solve the problem and he removed root again.
He couldn't close the bootloader afterwards, so the bootloader is still open. He said he didn't have installed/flashed TWRP or any custom rom..
Since then, the USB interface no longer works properly.
No data connection to the PC can be established, only charging works.
All devices that are connected to the S10 via an OTG cable are recognized, but only for charging. Other options in the S10 USB settings cannot be activated.
But, the connection to a screen via a USB-C to HDMI adapter (DELL DA200) works without any problems. The S10 recognizes the monitor directly as an external display and the monitor also shows the screen content of the S10.
I think it's a software problem, right?
I tested different USB-C cables, several OTG cables with different PCs and notebooks. No PC/notebook recognizes the S10 and no other USB device is recognized by the S10..
Is there a way to re-flash the S10 with Stock ROM and close the bootloader?
Maybe via ADB over Wifi?
Or is there another way to restore the data functionality?
I absolutely need the data functionality because I want to fly my Dji drone with the S10.
Greetings and thanks in advance
My problem is now "solved".
Yesterday I went into donload mode via WLAN ADB and locked the bootloader again.
The result was that the S10 only booted into download mode.
**** happens.....
Fortunately, I was able to buy a completely destroyed S10 (display and back cover) nearby for little money and convert the mainboard into my S10.
Thanks to everyone for the many input and the many tips.
