USB issues after fresh 2.0b and .03 radio plz help

I recently switched from fresh 1.1 to fresh 2.0b and also the new radio flipz came out with. I love it and I cant wait for all the bugs to be out. I do have a kinda serious problem tho and need the advice of a droid/linux guru. Why is my usb connection not working anymore. I tried it on 3 cpus and no recognization. Also I used the dev tools and it says everythings fine. Some other things I have done is wiped->flashed etc. no luck and also installed the drivers. nothin. On a side note it does charge! thanks alot any advice would help!!!

When you say your USB doesn't work, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean that your device is no longer recognized?
If that is the case, try this (also, make sure usb debugging is enabled):
I have win 7 64 and here is what worked for me:
1. Uninstall HTC Driver (this will likely give you an error, you can ignore it)
2. Uninstall HTC Sync
3. Download and install PdaNet
4. Follow the directions when installing PdaNet

Yea basically the phone is connected cia usb cable. by using the app" dev tools" i can tell the phone and computer are communicating with each other but no notification by windows or phone and they will not Activsync, htc sync, or mount. Also if you boot to recovery it will add files. really odd but it seems to be a problem with alot of ppl. Preciate it im trying what u said right now I will post with results.

turn on USB debugging

USB debugging is most definitley on. I double triple check it every time. The uninstallation of htc sync and driver and the install of the pdanet did not work everything was fine until 2.1 and the radio. But I did wipe and reflash a second time

bump still strugglin comin guys someone has to have the answer

well the radio should have NOTHING to do with connecting via usb... try nand-ing back to a 1.5 and see if you can connect through adb again.. my $0.02

I have the same problem and I am using damage 1.0...The problem is that it no longer gives me any options when i plug in to my computer. I have been working on this for a few days, it really sucks cuz i don't have any other roms on my memcard so I am kinda screwed if I can't figure this out...maybe i will just wipe and start over. I am 100% sure this is not related to the radio whatsoever. Does anyone know how to change the default for when u plug into a computer...i have tried just going to settings/connect to pc. Ask me is checked, and disk drive is default. I am wondering if there is a default to clear in apps management.

well if you are using disk drive you need to use usb ports build into the mobo. idk why but any usb that is not built in will give you problems. even on my laptop the usb ports that are plugged into the mobo dont work but the ones built in do. try that.

I am not sure what u mean by mobo? but it worked on the same usb's when i first flashed, i typically use the exact same usb for everything...i have 4 ports built into my laptop and none of them work for the phone. i even tried reinstalling drivers and htc sync...idk, i just wiped, and then restored and still no go, i guess i will try a wipe w/o restore.

If you're on a desktop, he means plug the cable into the USB ports on the back of the computer chassis. The USB ports there are soldered directly onto the motherboard, where as USB ports on the computer chassis are connected by a cable to the USB headers on the motherboard. What he's saying is that the cable could've been damaged/fried/came loose, so try the ones in the back.

OiC, that isn't the problem I have tried multiple ports on all of my computers(all laptops) as well as multiple cords...idk FML, just reflashed will see if it works.

ok so i just wiped and reflashed, now i am stuck at the X loading screen and the phone is frozen...FML, is it bricked, i can still get into recovery, i have the old fresh 1.1 ROM on my card, should i just flash that, or should i just use the nandroid backup i made from stock?

ok so flashed back to stock and my computer still won't recognize my phone...any other ideas, it has to be the computer right?

unless your phone won't charge plugged into the wall (meaning it's your phone), then yes.

Did u check with changing the cord ??
I had a similar problem after upgrading radio & fresh 2.0b. I just changed the USB cable and it worked fine. Even now it doesnt yet work with the earlier cable. Something went wrong in that front, but a diff usb cable did the trick for me. try it out

i have changed 5 cords. have messed with every setting known to man after doing so wiped and reflashed. everything i have used every usb port 1.0 and 2.0 and my phone most definitly charges ( my phones never been so charged) i am a comp prog going on my mis degree im pretty good at this and know my stuff Im just wonndering 2 things is it phone or cpu? reason I keep being so indecisive is because comp will recognize a device when it is in heroc but wont verify its a hero( ive tried all drivers) but phone connected fine b4 2.0 i duno im all out of ideas im gonna try to install the new heroc .6 and hope for the best thanks for the input guys!!!

unable to connect USB

So I've searched through threads and can't seem to find any solutions. I'm running Axura 2.1CE w/ JK3 kernel. I've used multiple cables, on different computers and none of the computers are able to even detect the device. Any thoughts?

I had this happen to me a couple of times. One time i just needed to restart my phone, and at least once it was a bad flash and I just had to reflash over and master clear. never had it become a permanent problem.

can you not get into download mode using hardware buttons?

The usb cable that came with the phone is not working for you even after installing the proper samsung usb drivers? What windows OS are you trying on?

Make sure it is a data cable and not a charge only cable. Look at the tag that is on the cable and it should tell you what it is.

Like UpNSmoke said.. make sure your using the correct cables.
It is suggested that if your having issues with a computer recognizing your phone to plug the cable in to the USB Port that is on your Motherboard on your Computer.
I would also suggest that if you haven't already - use the drivers that are in Design Gears ODIN 1 Click Back to Stock (links also provided in the sticky here as well). These are the one's I've been using since I've had my phone - and haven't had any issues.
Another thing you can do is - plug in your phone - and then re-install the drivers while the phone is plugged in.
And lastly.. I seem to have better luck with my Windows 7 box then my work's Windows XP machine. Good luck..

The cable I used was the one that came with the phone, what's odd is that I've never had this problem until earlier this week. I've tested it on Win7 x64 and Win7 x86

Tried ODIN 1-click and every machine I've run it on is windows 7.

I haven't had any luck getting a decent connection to my phone yet either. I've tried several different drivers, x86 and x64, different versions of each. Different versions of Kies and Kies Mini. I've tried suggestions from online. Nothing has gotten me anything reliable. I almost forgot, I've tried 2 different phones also. It would be one thing if it just NEVER worked, but for it to work sometimes and other times not, mostly not, is frustrating. I'm afraid to try a new ROM since everything I see about unbricking a Captivate requires a USB connection.

You definitely need to have to have a working USB connection before flashing... and plus you need it to return to stock using ODIN.
Have you tried re-installing the drivers with the phone plugged in and no dice?

I've tried plugged in, not plugged in. USB hub, USB motherboard connection. Just about everything I've seen online I've tried. Some don't work at all and others work briefly but usually within a day refuse to work more than it does work.

USB Driver issues

I've been having USB driver issues for a while now with my captivate (On serendipity 4.2 right now, finally decided to try to get to the root of this issue and update); I've used the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe (and I am on 32 bit Windows XP SP3), and have always received a "USB Device has malfunctioned" message whenever I have tried to plug my Captivate in.
My computer has 2 USB Ports; one of them has a USB 1.0 hub plugged in (which has a keyboard & Plantronics Microphone plugged in as well) and the other has a Logitech mouse. I've tried both of the main USB ports, as well as the hub. The hub's been plugged in when installing and uninstalling (I'm trying to give as many details as possible in the hopes that one of these might trigger a red flag).
Anybody know what the problem might be? Maybe I've been uninstalling the drivers incorrectly? (I've done it through device manager & restarting the computer before reinstalling)
EDIT: No Kies on this computer, has never been installed; I have been mounting the device via the notifications menu but it still gives me a malfunction error.

Hmmm.. You've done everything that I would try as well...
At this stage I can't really say it's anything specific... Have you tried it on any other computers by any chance? Or got it working before?

Should mention that I got it working by turning on USB Debugging mode on after installing the drivers, then plugging the device in, and after that it began to function as normally.

So is it working now or not? Sorry, the latest post is a bit confusing...

I think that's a known issue. I usually can not get my computer to recognize my captivate without enabling debugging

[Q] Running out of USB ports to get ODIN working!

Hey guys today my second USB port stopped working for ODIN.
The front two on my PC don't work for it and I got 4 left on the back, is there any way to solve this issue?

uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers then rebooting has always fixed it for me. if that isn't working i've got no clue. sorry i couldn't be more helpful i guess.

Yea I know but same problem.
I'm anxiously saving money for a GS2 and Netbook.

New cable.
Your welcome.

also have the same problem with my old pc, two front usb don't work with odin, but work with anything else.

I've had this same problem, and I haven't been able to fix it. But now I've switched to Ubuntu and Heimdall.
I don't know if this will work for you, but this USBDeview looks like it might do the trick: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

I assume you are using Windows, and if you are, there is one trick that I have used in the past to fix other devices. This *might* work for you. Try removing the non present devices from device manager. In order to do this, you need to Google how to view Nonpresent devices in device manager. This trick will show you every device that has every been plugged into each USB port. You can then go in and remove the drivers that were previously installed for your phone on that port. Whenever you remove the nonpresent device, next time it is plugged in, the computer will think that it has never been plugged into that USB port before.
Hope that helps!

Im serious about the new cable. I had a problem with the default usb cable before until a friend gave me his mt4g usb and never had a problem again. I think its a data miscommunication with the t959 stock usb. I lost any ODIN connection on all ports until I switched. Try it. Youll see.

That's actually what USBDeview does.

[Q] Driver Issues? Or maybe cable?

So recently I soft-bricked my phone (phone---!---computer) and it won't go download/recovery. It randomly froze while odin was running. But anyways, I've been trying to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 to unbrick it but it keeps telling me the drivers are not installed.
I've installed drivers using kies, the one click unbrick, and just from the samsung website and none of them seem to work. When I plug my phone in, it makes the usb plug in noise, then an icon shows up in the bottom right task bar for maybe 1/10th a second and then disappears. I'm running vista x32. Any ideas? Could it be the cable?

Heimdall uses special drivers.

As part of the heimdall one-click operation, it should ask you if you want to install the drivers (zadig.exe, I believe, is the application that does this).
If, for some reason, it doesn't, grab the full Heimdall package (search in the Development section for "Heimdall"), and that will definitely have the drivers.

Yea it told me to install the samsung usb composite driver and I did that. After rebooting my computer, when I plugged in the phone, windows confirmed that I had the driver installed but for some reason when I plug my phone into the usb it only recognizes the phone for a split second.
Edit: Actually the instructions tell me to put my phone into download mode in order for the driver to be installed successfully. Since my phone is bricked, I can't do that but it let me install the driver anyway. So I guess that's why it tells me drivers are not properly instaled.

That does sound like either a flaky cable or a USB port that's not behaving. If you have multiple USB ports, try plugging the phone into different ones. If you're on a desktop, the ones in the back are usually better. You may need to reboot the computer between tries.
If all that fails, see if you can get your hands on a different cable, or even a different computer.

Yeah, I would have to agree. People don't realize how much havoc a faulty cable can cause.

I ran on it on my roomate's ubuntu computer and it worked instantly! Thanks for the suggestions!
