I'll try to keep this as short as possible. After installing Perception 9.5 on my phone my PCs started to fail to recognize the device. I was never able to get it to work with Odin but I was able to connect it to install Perception 10.2 hoping that might fix the issue (10.2 goes back to 897 whereas 9.5 was based off some Samsung 959 ROM). Unfortunately, it did not and I can't connect the device to any of the three PCs I have.
Either nothing happens or the PC says "usb device not recognized". Things I have tried:
Switched usb debugging on and off
Switched from kies to mass storage to media player
Removed and reinstalled drivers on all 3 PCs (2 32-bit Vista, 1 64-bit Win7). The drivers used were the ones in the FAQ thread.
Tried a different micro usb cable
I'm at a loss as to what else to try. I never had this issue before trying to flash Odin with Perception 9.5 on my device. Any suggestions?
Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? I was using one on the front of my computer for months and then lately it wouldn't connect and I went through the things you did and nothing worked. I am now using a USB port from the back of my computer and it is working fine. If you have wifi you could also look into an app called SwiFTP. It will allow you to transfer files between your phone and computer using your wifi instead of USB cable. Good luck, hope you get it figured out.

Yep, I have tried a total of 14 usb ports on 3 PCs, lol. I have Doubletwist and Dropbox so I'm not worried about moving files and whatnot, but I do like testing out other ROMs so I need to be able to connect in order to use Odin. I also want to sell this phone soon and pick up an Inspire so I kind of need to get it back to stock.
Update: I tried installing the Vibrant drivers (since that's what Perception 9.5 was based off of) and I did a hard reset of the phone. PC is still unable to recognize the device. Is there a zip file out there that would allow me to revert back to stock?
There its the jh7 ota that design gears put out a while back, but you are taking a risk flashing anything without knowing you can use odin.
If you are going to try it, make sure you disable lag fix first
did u try adb?
did u try different USB cable?
can u get it into download mode?

Do not know what ADB is, I'll do some homework. Tried a different cable. Can get it into download mode.
@mcord, thank you, I'll google that. I'm not sure what else to try.

It's not recognized when the phone is on? Seeing as you posted this topic using your phone I assume so lol. Have you tried restarting your computer?
You can download the correct drivers here.

Make sure you are using the oem usb cable. I had the same problem, changed cables and it worked
some cheap cables are for charging ... bt headsets and other stuff the data cables dont connect, its just for power.

You gotta make sure that your usb port is directly connected to your motherboard (usually back of your computer).
same usb port that has always worked. ive tried them all by now anyway

Duno what happened but I'm glad it worked out for you
I'm having the same problem with my captivate after flashing REDROM. It won't recognize it if I have USB debugging turned on...
i have a theory... were you on a GB or other i9000 based rom/kernel???
well, im still having a problem getting my computer to recognize the phone, i have to mess with it for a a while to get it to work. i really want to flash anew 2.3.3 rom but without being able to get everything working right im stuck in 2.1
is this a problem with my cord or the connection on my phone? or something weird with my phone after flashing it a lot. its currently back to odin stock, i have been trying to master clear it with no luck

well it looks like i'm done. my phone will not show up on my computer and its currently bricked, although i have no issue getting it to download mode i cant do anything with it. unless someone knows some magic, looks like im downgrading to my gf's 4 year old busted up BB
Guys, this problem while connecting to the PC body is stupidly charging .... Even in the download mode Odin does not see a body that could be? Connect other Cappy-all OK.

it must be a powered usb hub, on my buddies laptop only 1 out of 4 usb ports saw his phone.
if you can get into download mode you arent bricked.
try installing i9000 drivers, or try another computer.
I came up with this a while back. Could very well be the same issue.
Let me start by saying I'm flash happy, and everyone that knows me personally, tells me to just quit jacking with my phone. NOT A CHANCE! I'm on my 3rd Cappy and shouldn't have ever exchange it again. I only had to in the beginning, because I was a newbie and had not know enough, but to get me in trouble.
I presume that this should work on all Windows OS's. I personally am running Vista Enterprise x86.
My symptoms:
Plug in phone to the usb and it there was about a 15% chance off being able to mount to usb, and Windows recognizing as a mass storage device. I tried un-installing drivers and re-installing and it would work some of the time, until the point came when parts of the driver install would fail. Then to the point when it was just completely unrecognizable. I thought I had it fixed because it seemed intermittent. In the middle of flashing to stock, something interrupted communication between the pc and my phone. Restarted the phone and attempted the flash again. Got a little farther and froze again. I had to use another pc that I had never connected my phone to before and I was able to use my jig to trigger download mode, because no buttons combinations would allow it into download mode.
This got me thinking that it was specific to my pc and not my cable or my phone.
My resolution:
I went straight to the registry and went to find. I deleted every entry that came up for "i897" and "i9000" excluding what was listed in the system volume information, as I didn't have permissions to remove any keys. I didn't keep count, but I probably deleted 300-400 registry keys that pointed to my phone. It seems as if with each developers rom that I had flashed, there was an entry for a different device. Don't quote me on that, because it is just my personal consensus. I also un-installed the samsung drivers, the unknown device driver, kies software, and anything associated with samsung. I noticed that next to all of the i9000 instances, the hex key for me started with 1000ee. So I also searched for the first part of that key trying to ensure that all instances of the device. Lastly, I deleted the samsung folder from program files.
I installed the samsung drivers package commonly listed in all of the other threads for x86 operating systems. I plugged in my phone and watched as each and every driver installed successfully. Keep in mind different drivers are installed depending on if you have usb debugging on/off, and the options for if the preferences on you phone are set to media, storage, or kies. I have multiple usb ports, however testing has shown me that, for me and my setup, I can plug into the port that I used when installing the drivers the final time, I am able to connect consistently. Earlier today, I tried to plug into a different usb port and it was an unknown device. I am led to believe, this is because I didn't un-install the unknown device on this particular port.
If you intend to work in the registry, please remember to always back it up first. You can always restore.
Hopefully my findings can help you as they did me. Happy flashing and I would like to thank the community for the dedication to assisting each other and the developers, for making flashing, better than crack cocaine. Flashing rom's doesn't make you twitch near as much as a crackhead.
Well since you can't use your phone you should sell it to me

Alright, so before I get flamed, I have searched for over an hour today, and I have not been able to figure this out. I am not new to android, rooting, custom roms, and editing files, so I have tried a multitude of different things.
To the point, my Droid 3 will not connect to my computer. It did a couple weeks ago when I flashed the Liberty Rom onto it, but now it'll just charge and not go into the USB mode. The only reason I know it is charging is when I disconnect the cord it says the disconnected message.
I have tried a couple different cables, and I usually use my stock cable that came with my D3. I have also tried restarting my phone and computer. I even flashed the newest Liberty Rom the hard way and still no luck.
If someone could please help me out I would be VERY grateful as this is a PITA!!!
Thanks in advance!
My two cents would be, try different usb port and make sure you have the most current moto drivers.
Have had luck with uninstalling driver pack and reinstalling.
Hope that helps.

I appreciate the help, unfortunately uninstalling the drivers didn't work, unless I didn't get the correct drivers? I went into uninstall programs. In the device manager nothing came up for my phone or drivers. And I have also tried different ports but to no luck. Thanks again for the reply.
Have you tried a different computer? A different device? Let's just rule out that this isn't a computer issue first...
My Zune works in all of my ports, and my other computer. My Phone however does not. It does the same thing as my other computer, although I guess I don't have the drivers on the other computer, but it would still come up as usb connection right? All this does is charge, sometimes.
Have you tried Linux? No drivers are needed. download a live CD and see if it helps.

Can you explain?
("Very Important"!) PLEASE POST!!!
After sufferring through the same issue and delving deeply for almost two days,I have found the culprit!!! IT IS THE USB CORD AND NOT THE DRIVERS OR ANYTHING ELSE!!"SIMPLY USE THE FIRST USB CORD THAT YOU USED THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU PLUGED INTO YOUR COMPUTOR AND THAT WILL RECTIFY(FIX) YOUR PROBLEM.(IT HAS TO BE THE VERY FIRST USB CORD OTHERWISE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AND NO OTHER COMPUTOR WILL RECOGNIZE YOUR DEVICE UNTIL YOU DO WHAT I SAY.I thought it was the rooting of my phone that initially caused the issue or maybe an app,however,I found the culprit.The usb cord!!!(WHATEVER USB YOU USED FOR THE VERY FIRST ,STOCK OR NOT,IT IS THE ONLY ONE YOUR COMPUTOR WILL RECOGNIZE!!! I HOPE THIS HELPS THE MANY OF YOU THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND GOOD LUCK

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I haven't competed the fourth grade.
Dude could've just said use the USB cord that came with the phone, to each his own. I have 6 micro usb cables and only the moto official will allow me to do anything other than charge the phone via cpu.

The only problem is that I ONLY use the cord that came with my D3... Any way to flash the stock rom onto my phone from my phone and unroot? Then I can take my phone into verizon and get a new one... and a new cord..

That sucks. You can find the .890 sbf floating around in android development and flash it, I believe it takes everything to stock including unroot.

Can I flash that wit cwm or the stock recovery though? I can't use RSD or fastboot because nothing happens when I plug my usb into it.
So heres the thing.
I flashed some firmware on my phone (did it 100 times no problem) but i got fail in odin.
I said ok nothing is wrong i can fix it. but to my suprise Odin wont recognise my phone. I get a message that the Usb is unknown.
Now beacuse i reinstalled my drivers i think that the computer needs a first time plug of another galaxy s to install the driver from the phone is that correct? (Cause my phone can only go to download mode)
so all i need to do is to get another galaxy s plug it in and let the computer recognise it for the first time. and than use my broken phone phone and it will work?
what firmware was it ,if it was ics sometimes you lose usb connections and odin wont recoqnise the phone

Problem solved here. I hope this solution helps you
I've tried so much, seriously SO MUCH. At the end it turns out it was my usb cable. i ripped my old usb cable apart for making me go ape ****.
lesson? No matter how many times you install, change ports, etc. Always be sure to try a new usb cabel. If you don't have a second one, i'd suggest you go buy a second one, it's worth a try. The whole time it wasn't working it was my stupid usb cable, changed it and in an instance i was ready to roll.
Wish you good luck!
I turned off usb debugging, but the mass storage I can't turn off: I have to choose between MTP and PTP.
I upgraded Kies to the latsest version, unfortunately no connection.
I tried Kies via Wifi and it works, fine for me.
BUT I prefer Kies via USB. Is there anybody else with the same problem and can help me?
Neither works for me.
Waiting for solution.

Were you able to connect to Kies? I can't. I am not talking about USB mass storage mode, but I want to connect PC Kies with my phone and ever since LPY upgrade I can't. I have stock rom, no root and CWM or anything like that. The PC finds the device GT-N7000, and it works fine in explorer, but Kies can not connect to the phone. It stays in connecting and then it says that there was an error connecting to the device.
Anyone else with LPY that can not connect to Kies for PC?

Me the OP
I am also unable to connect to KIES since performing the ICS update ( via mobile Odin ). I tried USB debug on or off and also Wireless and Network settings different combinations... no go...
Waiting for ideas..
I have just updated Kies and apparently is working.
Date of update appears to be today, 14/05/2012, version 2.3.1.12044_18.
I only use kies to make backups and restore them, but this software is somewhat buggy.

I have exactly the same version of Kies and I can not connect to it with USB cable.
I removed my version of Kies (version 2.3.1.12044_18) and restarded my computer.
After this I re-downloaded Kies (version 2.3.1.12044_18) and installed it today.
Unfortunately....
I don't understand that some can connect to Kies and some not. I hope there will be an explanation.

After this I can connect via USB to Kies. Good luck!
I responded to an other thread here which has a similar situation as you have...
anyway, what you should do is completely uninstall kies.. when I say completely, I mean removing it thru the registries (of your computer), folders in Program files or Program files x 86... After removing it, reinstall it again, uncheck and recheck usb debugging in your Phone's settings.
Check if Kies will recognize your phone after... It may take a bit while.. but it will I'm sure, also unplug and re-plug your USB cable to different usb ports on your computer and check which one will automatically connect and detect with your phone.
If your using a PC, it's advisable you plug your phone at the back of your PC (where I think there's a USB port in there), it gives a much stronger signal than the one at the front of your tower or desktop.
Hope this helps...
