[FIXED] thanks guys
When I connect my Samsung Galaxy S, the computer doesn't do ANYTHING (it doesn't recognize that anything has been connected), and the SGS doesn't even recognize that it's connected to anything. All the phone does is charge...not even a notification drop down prompts me to enter USB mass storage or charge etc. I've factory reset the phone many times (plugged & unplugged), and nothing seems to fix it. I can't find my SGS in the Device manager to reinstall drivers either.
I am running Windows 7 64bit on a Sony Vaio, if that helps.
I've searched tons of sites & forums and none seems to have a working solution...Any ideas/fixes?
I think I found the problem I was having...I was using a Rocketfish CHARGING cable, and although it looks like a USB cable (it connects to the computer via usb), it does nothing but charge...so I took off the micro usb adapter that affixed onto the mini usb charging cable and re-affixed it onto a random mini usb cable I had lying around. And now it connects to the computer! I can now use all the other tutorials fixing the generic "usb driver not installed properly" problem.
UPDATE: I was following the tutorial on http://theunlockr.com/2009/12/02/how-to-root-the-samsung-behold-2-samsung-galaxy/ but when I get to the fastboot part, my phone won't boot into fastboot.... Can anyone help?

turn on usb-debugging mode in settings. you have to manually choose to mount the volume on the SGS every time you plug it in.
should work.
you need to either install KIES, or install the drivers included in the Android SDK

I got my phone to connect & be recognized by my computer, but I can't seem to get my phone into fastboot. Can anyone tell me which keys to press...?
I had the exact same problem. Googled and found a forum post somewhere with the following solution:
Turn off Galaxy S. Connect to pc by USB. Turn on Galaxy S.
...
Yeah.
Worked for me, anyway. Ever since I did that it's been working fine even if I connect it while it's turned on.
EDIT: Gah, didn't notice you had it solved already, thought the second post was from someone else. Oh well.

Use the cable that came with your phone. I had issues with a second cable I bought for my second pc. Changed the cable back and everything was fine.

For all, there has always been a problem with sammy usb cables/ports, so when connected up to pc, always take care not to knock phone, this will become especially important when you connect to odin if you get into rom flashing

Pls install Android SDK .It may require you to install java jdk .Then install the samsung drivers for 64 bit install 64 bit drivers ......32 bit won't work. & use the genuine samsung cable. No need of powered hubs or desktops instead of laptops. It will work. Thanks

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem I'm REALLY hopeing someone can help me with. I've started having some problems with my phone recently and one of them is getting a "USB Device Malfunctioned" when connecting to a PC. I've tried it on 3 PCs, so I'm pretty sure it's not a PC driver issue.
I'd simply try to get it replaced, except that I've rooted the phone and am afraid of having a warranty issue. The phone is otherwise stock 2.2 - no custom rom.
I'm hoping that someone can either help me resolve my USB issue, or point me to a way to unroot without having to connect to the computer. I'd also be open to a custom rom if it would fix my issues (I'm also having a problem where the touch screen goes unresonsive).
Is did find this thread, but I'm not understanding what all the steps mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009658
I'm starting to panic....any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
One FACTORY RESET .
jje
Sorry, should have mentioned that I already did that this weekend in an attempt to fix the touchscreen issues. This was before I even knew I had the USB issue.
At least I did the "factory data reset" in settings. I didn't do the power - volume key method, but from what I could tell it did the same thing.
Try flash this script own your recovery...
Safe
i just change the wrong and not match script usb mounting

In some instances the Phone >> ! >> PC screen will function the same as being in download mode.
For other connection issues, check this thread Captivate - PC Connection Issues, Download Mode and Recovery Mode Help. Give consideration to the parts about trying different cables and PCs, also read the section regarding the fickleness of getting drivers to work.
It could also be your hardware. Considering that you said you had to tilt the phone to get it to come on, it might be that there is a bad connection / broken solder between the usb port and the motherboard of the phone.
