Can't Get in USB Mode - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Everytime i connect my phone to my computer through a usb both third party and OEM usb cable the phone notification doesn't show anything or any indication that i can select to enter into storage mode.
any idea what might be wrong because i dont storage mode alot so i dont know if anything can be wrong with the usb port.
any help would be appreciated
thank you

What ROM you running, that might help ..... maybe turn off ADB , in settings, and check usb storage there ...

no ROM, everything is stock and debugging mode is unchecked as well
when i mannually try to use the USB mass storage from Setting>Wireless>USB utillties and click on Connect Storage to PC it gives me a window saying "ATTENTION: Usb is connected. Remove the cable" when i remove the cable then it tell me to Connect the USB cable

Same thing happens to me.
My solution is to plug my/your phone to the computer and open the notifications. Click/press on the usb is connected notification and you can enter storage mode directly without hassle.

When I had this problem, I just needed to fix permissions in recovery. Is the phone rooted? Did you recently buy it new or used?

Solution is simple I suppose.
Disconnect the cable.
Go to settings from where USB connection can be enabled.
Click that option and it will ask you to connect the cable.
Only then connect it. That should be work.

If you have the adb stuff driver running then you cant connect in data transfer mode usb.
Or
you need to uncheck the USB debugging mode before connect the usb cable
if you have a wifi router you might like the "airdroid" App... i use it a lot ckeck it out

[Q] USB Connection Problem Galaxy W

I am having a problem when I connect my phone to PC. I get the attached screen after connecting the cable, and the phone memory drives never show up.
(dark blue screen that shows date and time "Alarm", "Music", "Gallery", and "Voice Search at the bottom)
It happens both in debugging and non-debugging modes. Also, the GPS icon on top of the taskbar starts blinking shortly after connecting. MTB connecting does not start.
I have no idea where this page comes from!!
Thanks
P.S.-Sorry that I could not embed the image here in this post since I have posted less that 10 posts in this forum.
You got USB drivers installed on PC.....is it Windows....or Mac?
What do you see if you pull down Notification Blind?
What is the symbol on the top left Notification ?
Does PC give any message regarding drivers when phone connected, with USB debugging selected on phone?
Are you using supplied micro USB cord?

The USB drivers are fine, It was working before on this PC.
I can not pull down the Notification bar like I do on normal screen.
The symbol on left was for SetCPU notification. I have flashed the stock ROM again and everything is clean, problem still exists.
PC gives no message, even the phone does not charge!
I am using the original USB cable.
Thanks
OK.....I no like this:

Sounds HW related problem!!!
You try different USB ports, different cords, different PC or Laptop....just to eliminate everything but the phone!!!
Can ODIN see phone, in Download Mode?? Here also you need USB Debugging selected.
Something like this, left box should be Yellow:

The only thing that I need to try is a different cable.
It also looks HW issue to me.
I could connect it in Download mode to flash the stock ROM after several connecting and disconnecting the usb cable.
I may take it for warranty tomorrow. Is flashing the stock ROM is enough to have the phone looks like factory defaults. It looks unrooted and no recovery mode now.
Thanks

it may just be the cable/usb cord!!!
I'd say if you are now on Stock FW, and have restored Stock Recovery, and un-rooted, you are OK for Warranty.......
Let us know how you get on,
Cheers.
Yes It was cable. it works fine with another cable.
Thanks

For USB Storage mode:
1. Disconnect
2. Settings->Wireless and network->USB utilities
3. Click button: Connect storage to PC
4. Plug in USB Cable
I hope it helps.

Do you mean adb connection or usb mass storage one?
I don't know whether you've checked this yet, but try this:
if you mean the adb, on the home screen, press: menu>setting>applications>development>check on usb debugging
if it is usb storage, refer to what mayerkemp said
or if you can see usb logo on notification bar, slide it down and tap connect storage to pc
Thanks guys,
Problem is that when I click on connect storage it either says "connect the cable to use mass storage" or if the cable is connected it says "USB is connected. Remove the cable."
Any thoughts?
Hi guy's, so I've reinstalled a backed up rom and it's fine now.
Just always check development mode on application setting, then u can change to usb storage with tap usb connected from expanded status bar, that's what I do on DXLM3
Sorry for my bad english

I replied to your post in the flashing post, try to disk ##8778# and put your phone in"AP" that should work.. remember you put it in "cp" when choosing do you have to put it back to the way it was so your phone can be recognized by your computer man. Try that and let me know if it works.
I can'tget mine to get recognized by my pc

I had similar problems with my wife's phone. The answer was sending it back to Samsung - there seems to be some type of manufacturing problem with the USB port itself. One way to check for this is to try turning on USB Debugging Mode. On my wife's phone, prior to the fix, it would not let me set that claiming that the phone was connected - when it wasn't! After the fix, the USB is far more reliable than ever.

Is there any way to root or update without usb

My s2 is on gingerbread stock and apparently my usb port is broken as it only charges the device when connected to the computer. Is there any way to update to ice cream sandwich or root without usb support? Cant I just put root files in the sd card?

There is no way, because you have to Odin flash CWM in order to flash SU to root your phone. Are you sure your USB is broken? Have you tried downloading the drivers for the S2? Have you tried rebooting your PC? Does your phone show the USB symbol, and ask if you want to enable USB storage?

Thank you for the response, and yes im almost positive its broken, I have tried 3 different pc and 5 different cables when I connect to a computer it just charges the phone. No notification of usb no nothing, have tried factory reset plenty if times. Even if I didn't have drivers it should still show that it is connected to pc via device manager but nothing. My friend has an s2 as well and his plugs right up on the computer and immediately gets usb mass storage notification.

When you connect your phone to a new PC, or even a different USB port, does a USB mass storage or finding driver dialog box come up? Is there anything you can eject under safely remove hardware....ect on the taksbar? Anything under system properties / devices that show up unknown or say Android or ADB on it?

Nope nothing, its doesn't even show up on the device manager the computer doesn't even react to the connection, it just starts charging. I have read that this is a common issue with the s2 and the usb port needs to be replaced. Its about $7 so im not to worried about it.
