[Q] Connecting to computer =(

When i connect my G2 phone to the computer it use to have a notification to tell me it was connected to a computer and let me turn on usb storage mode. When i plug it in to my computer it does nothing just sits there charging like it was plugged in to a wall charger no option to go to usb drive mode. I am using CryogenMod 6.1.1 any ideas?
I tried 2 different cables and computers...

You might not have the proper drivers installed on your computer.

I don't think its a driver issue because it comes up as a removable disk no matter what computer i am on. It seems like it's on the phones side there is no notification like there used to be. This all started today. was working perfectly before. I have not clue what could of done this I haven't made any drastic changes on my phone or anything.

I don't know what happen i restored it back to another restore point i had it started working again! i don't know how or what happen.

You've probably got usb debugging enabled. Disconnect your phone from the computer, disable usb debugging and then connect it again.

The phone was always on debugging mode, and I still always got the USB connected notification. I think it was an Ap I downloaded that messed with the startup programs. I am not completely sure it is that but was the only major change in my phone since this started happening. So IDK glad its resolved through the restore and backup.

[Q] Soft-bricked, trouble with Odin + USB

I've scoured the forum to an answer to my problem but I've not yet found any so hopefully you guys can help.
Somehow I managed to soft-brick my Epic 4g, just been having all sorts of problems. Anyway I'm able to get in download mode just fine so I should be able to restore my phone no problem right? Wrong.
The problem I'm having is that my computer won't freaking recognize my phone when it's plugged in. Here's what I'm doing:
1) Start Odin, have phone ready in Download Mode
2) Load up the PDA file
3) Plug USB cord in to Phone
Once I plug the cord in to the phone my computer says that it does not recognize the device (or that it's malfunctioned or some such thing).
I've tried everything to fix this! Here's a weird bit of success though:
This morning I turned on my phone, did the 3-button combo to get to clockwork recovery then plugged my phone in. The phone was recognized!! I rebooted, went to download mode and Odin recognized it! At this point I tried flashing my stock kernel and it failed. Now I'm no longer able to get in to recovery using the 3 button combo and my computer no longer recognizes my USB connection again in download mode.
Am I totally screwed here? What's up with the USB??
OH! Just wanted to add: I'm using Windows 7 x64 and I do have the correct USB drivers installed.

hmmm
Have u tried redownloading the samsung drivers? They really ***** out sometimes...

I have. I've actually gone through and tried the x86 and x64 drivers listed on the forums as well as the official samsung drivers.

Usually when Windows says the device is unrecognized or has malfunctioned it has to do with the USB port you're using not having enough power. The stock Epic USB cable also sucks because its long and skinny which leads to more power drop. Try using a better quality USB cable (I always use a blackberry cable when flashing) and connect it to a USB port on the back panel of the computer that comes directly off of the motherboard.
Some USB ports may work better than others - for instance on my Dell E series laptops I can't flash when using the USB ports on the left side of the machine, but the ones on the right work perfectly. The left side ones just don't deliver as much juice and this phone is a power hungry little guy.

Alright I got it working. I do think it had something to do with the cable. I kept swtiching back and forth between Samsungs and my old Motorola one. After a few reboots and reinstalls of drivers the Motorola one finally worked

I have had that same thing happen, tried an old moment cable and problem solved. After that went on ebay and bought some extras just to have on hand just in case. Also thanks about the usb port explanation, makes sense.

i tried..odd..
i think it stated when i activated power saving mode..
im testing now,..

ok so i shut off power saving mode rebooted my device and bingo..odd ah...

I restart my computer when that happens. For me I believe the issue is caused by plugging multiple phones into my pc to load files. This assumption is because I never had this trouble until I started loading apps on my girlfriends bionic as well as my hercules. I am using the cable that came with my g2. My hercules didn't come with cables.
Another fix is WiFi File Explorer. What I like about this fix is that it saves wear and tear on the micro usb jack.

true i will try that.thx

[Q] Cant mount USB, get to DL mode

Hi Guys/Gals
ive done a bit of searching and have tried everything i could think of but still no DL mode, and cant mount USB
I started having a problem with my mic ... thought it might be the ROM so i wiped dalvik, problem was still there. Then did a factory reset, problem still there
Thought i would try a different ROM, but when i went to plug my USB in, my PC would promt me with a USB device not recognized window. I tried mounting USB via USB utilities - No Go. Tried with debugging mode off, still no go.
I have reinstalled the USB drivers, still no go.
The phone also turns on when plugged into wall power, or will not stay shut down ... hrmmm
Im curious if the mic and USB issues are related and it is a hardware malfunction.
Any tips, help, or advice would be GREATLY appreciated right about now.
Thanks XDA!

Welp ... got DL mode on my work PC. Will try to get back to factory and see if that resolves the USB and Mic issues.
Pretty weird considering I tried it a few million times.

Scratch that. Got DL mode, once, can no longer. Wtf is going on.
Holding volume+/- and inserting USB cable. Am I doing something wrong? Its sending me straight to CWM recovery everytime.
Tried to do a restore from a point but got an MD5 sum mismatch
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

so hold the vol up + down then plug phone

Tried everything.
Not a newb when it comes to getting to DL mode if the phone is opperating normally. (obviously if ive come from CM7, and ICS as an original vibrant owner, and was running a rooted SGS2)
Went ahead and ordered a new phone. Am going to spend the couple bucks on the DL mode USB plug, might be able to save something from the old phone.
Im pretty sure something happened to the phone that affected the ports on the USB and MIC at the same time. But we'll see once i try the plug ...

Youve tried two different power sources, what about a different USB cable? Had that issue before where the cable was bad and only noticed when other USB devices werent connecting through it..or intermittently.

yes i tried different usb cables, different power outlets and different computer's.
also i noticed that when its actually charging on the PC, i don't get the small usb icon on the notification to copy files from pc .. i need to power off/on the phone.
ever happened to anyone ?

Ive never read that here, i have a Telus one also and it shows up right away. The odd time ive noticed that ill hear the usb unplug/replug sound from my pc and the phone will show the USB Connected on the status bar as though it somehow reset its connection. But never had an issue where it stays disconnected.
I also only got that issue with certain roms, i dont remember which though. I ran painlessly on Juggernaut for a while and right now im on Touchless and its also perfect.

I am running on Juggernaut, i recently did a clean install (wipe data .. everything) i was having few issues, i though maybe that would fix the issue.
the phone at times thinks that i have plugged the charger in to charge
and u see the battery icon changing. weird...

Have you tried charging with the phone powered down?
