To mighty developers: Can ROM cause problems or damage USB connectivity? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can ROM somehow cause problems with USB recognising of my SGS4 I9505 ?
Charging is fine, but can't be recognized by PC.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
My question is simple and i need simple answer (like yes or no). I won't explain how many threads i've checked- simply i'll tell what i've tried.
1. Dozens of cables
2. Few different laptops with different OS
3. A lot USB ports
4. Cleaning phone USB port
5. Replacing with another 2 USB boards from other SGS4
6. Hard phone cache and factory reset
7. Delete all drivers, reinstall em, also KIES, Error code i receive in device manager is 43. Tried to force Samsung drivers for this device, it accept them, but gives error code 10 - device can not start.
Phone can't be recognized in all modes. Last time it was connecting properly was when i flashed last ROM with Odin. It is STOCK rom. - I9505XXUHOB7_I9505YBTHOB7_DBT-Stock ROM Galaxy s4 and it has received several updates OTA from Samsung.
I have 2 more SGS4 which connects and works fine with all cables. They have never been flashed or rooted.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
THANKS a lot in advance !!!

Just need to know has ROM anything to do with USB connectivity?
So should i bang my head and search for flashing without custom recovery, root and USB connectivity !? Is there any chances to flash that way another rom, an will it fix usb connectivity ?
If ROM has NOTHING to do with usb connectivity- then i'll just leave it that way! It is simple ! But no simple answer yet

Download mode is separated from the rom. So no, the rom has nothing to do with usb connectivity while in download mode. Another rom will not fix your problems.

Odin and PC not recognizing SGS

Hello guys, my PC and obviously Odin doesn't recognise my SGS, so I can't install my new ROM (Which doesn't have a CWM version).
How can I solve this?
I tried reinstalling drivers and stuff like that, I seriously need help with this.
OMG now it is semi-bricked!!! Please help me guys, I tried again to use Odin but it keeps connecting and disconnecting the phone, so it's impossibile to complete the update and fix the phone!
Check your phone cable.. Or USB on your computer..
If you are saying that it's losing and getting connection.. That can be reason why it's semi-bricked now as you said.. (in the middle of the "odin proces" lost connection)..
Other than that, I really dont know what could be the reason, if you instaled everything else correctly..
Now for some reason I've been able to turn it on with a wipe/factory reset from the recovery mode, I was scared as hell...
But I still can't understand why it gets and loses connection with Odin...

Sorry to hear that..
I dont't know what else you could try.. Maby deinstall and again install new version of odin.. Same thing with Kies, so you are definitely shure that you have all drivers right..
(First deinstall /instal Kies - then Odin)
I'm sad, you know?
I'm not lucky at all with all this bulls...! Example: Kies stops at the main screen after I install it, tried to install it 6 times.
Odin: I have Odin3 V1... But I don't think this problem is related to Odin, only the device keeps connecting / disconnecting.

5.normal driver problem

this is my observetion if somebody like to add/correct then welcome
Try cleaning the USB port
Try cleaning the port/cable with an alcohol swab (Battery out of course). I had tried everything and then it was this simple thing that worked. And my phone was only 3 months old and never wet so it shouldn't have mattered but it did!
There is lots of information elsewhere on drivers, the order in which to do things etc but try this too. It can't hurt and can help.
Here is the latest drivers

Can't connect to pc with USB cable

Hi is anyone have the same problem with there S4 connecting to PC with USB cable. I have all the drivers installed and I also tried connecting to another pc and same problem.. I also tried 2 cables and no good. I can connect with cable with odin but I can't move files with windows explorer.
So you have tried this on 2 pc's correct, you have keis loaded on both? Are you sure usb debugging is enabled in the dev section?
Are we guessing what phone you have here? Is it a iPuke S4?
Noobs: if you need help, and an accurate help...use this when asking, MAKE IT LAW!
1) What model phone
2) What Kernel
3) What recovery
4) and any other information you can provide.

i used to have a driver problem for my galaxy s4 at&t. i resolved it by restoring back to factory stock using odin. you can follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
I had the same issue as you op, and unfortunately I don't have a good solution. The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a different rom. I was on Jedi and it wouldn't let me connect to PC (at first, it worked fine but a day later it stopped).
Flashing another rom (mint) fixed it for me.

I am impressed here, you had and issue with a rom, before you went on a post rampage you tried another rom, and it worked, so you know now it was not a hardware issue but a rom issue, this is how you find solutions on your own. GOOD JOB. this deserves a thanks from me at least.

Not sure if serious. Jk, thanks. But I still think I could have figured out a better solution than completely ditching a rom.
I tried everything listed, from updating drivers to trying to mount the phone through twrp. Nothing worked, even re-flashing the rom, so that gave me the idea to try another.

Did not mean it that way, first troubleshooting step should be, are you having the same issue on another rom, if 2 roms have the issue, it is a more serious problem, but as you tried, it is a issue with that rom, so that person can find answers in that rom thread.
calmness sir, it was all in good meaning.

But you are correct, trying another rom did cancel out a hardware problem for me.

OK, I337 rooted, unlocked, Goldeneye 7/10 ROM, 3.4.0-917495 kernel, USB debug enabled, running Net10/TMo, via *#0808# set to RNDIS+DM+MODEM, and AWS enabled via *#0011# OP process (I'm now getting 14.3M downloads off H+). wifi-Kies is Titanium frozen, as is restored crapware std email client. I had this problem once before when I left USB setting at RNDIC+DM+MODEM without completing the QPST process, but all was well after I did it right. Only other change I'm aware of is that I installed the Samsung USB drivers for the S3 so I could do the same AWS fix for the wife's i747. Anyway, the Samsung don't show in device manager now, even after reinstall the S4 drivers. Get a phone beep on plugging in, that's it. I plug her S3 in, get beep, screen says connecting as media device, windows 7 says installing drivers, via windows update, and eventually gets it done, saying "USB composite, sgh-i747, CDC/ACM, and ADB interface" (as shown), much as with S4 when it's usb driver install is successful. A puzzlement for a noob, for sure; clearly it's inside the S4, as when I try usb connect into an XP 'puter, while I get the phone beep, there's no usb recognition by the XP either.

Unrooted s3 with no rom installed help?

[Q] USB Connectivity Issue on my S4 (i9500) for download mode

As the title says, I am having issues getting my laptop and other laptops to detect my S4 (i9500) on download mode. It did work early but now doesn't work. The funny thing is I can transfer data to and from it when it is fully booted.
I have tried:
Trying on different PC/Laptops.
Different USB Cables
Re-installing Samsung USB Drivers
Re-installing kies.
Removing and replacing the battery
Current setup:
16GB S4
ROM - MIUI v4.2.14
Android Version - 4.2.2.
Before it was running Stock TouchWiz 4.3, I ran into alot of battery drain issues to I tried hard and downgrade to 4.2.2 and Installed MIUI but I think that download mode is broken. The phone goes to download mode but it cannot be detected in the system or any system. It doesn't even make that USB sound when you plug it in.
Please help me out. Thanks in Advance.
PS: Dear Mods, If this is the wrong place to post such things, then please move it to the appropriate section. Thanks.

Considering what you already have done, I'd say that your assumption is about right.
Your only chance to fix could be to put something what you can flash via Recovery mode (CWM)

How to tell if my i9505 is "International"?
As per instruction, "INTL I9505 DEVICES SHOULD USE A CUSTOM GE KERNEL TO PREVENT RANDOM REBOOTS".
How do I tell if my i9505 is an international device?
Also, what is the danger of flashing a different kernel?
Thanks,
Ian
Hi,
I have an S4 i9505 running this rom, and the Ktoosez #1 Kernel. I am interesting in flashing the alucard kernel and have downloaded the GE verison. I am just wondering if I need to run any scripts or clear any settings before I flash the alucard kernel? Or does this get done automatically when I flash? Sorry if this is a repeated question, I have done a search.
Questions
Hello everyone !
I just bought a i9505 and i have some questions about this rom !
First of all, is this rom for i9505 ?
Is every functionnality are working ? (4G and stuff)
Samedi can five me a feedback of this rom ?
Thank you for everyone answers !
question, will this work on S4 GT-I9505? sorry for being a newbie, i don't know the difference of a google play edition of i9505.
Samsung S4 "Unknown device"
Hi, out of the blue my s4 is not recognized by any computer I have, I've tried 3 different computers and the message is always the same "problem installing the driver" or "the device cannot install because the hardware malfunctioned" . I've tried in w7 and xp. Same computers in which the phone used to work perfectly, and I didn't make any changes.
I think I have tried everything now, I've reinstalled the drivers, kies, several times too but nothing. I also tried to reinstall the ROM with all the wipes, and still nothing. Of course I tried debbuging mode and without it as well. It must be a phone issue, because it doesn't work in any computer, but I don't now what it can be. I don't now what else to do.
Right now I'm running the last Danvdh 4.4 Google Edition with ktoonsed kernel, I also tried Googy, and it runs smooth as always.

Verify in settings about phone, normally none international devices specify another model number , like Canadian it says i337m or JFLTECAN. Or you can check back your battery and there is specified the model.
Install a new kernel don't have any problem, just verify the next things:
1. Kernel is compatible with your model: a lot of kernels are compatible with all i9505 models in AOSP and GoogleEdition kernel versions.
2. The kernel Zip is downloaded correctly: open the zip in any file explorer (windows or Android), if don't open is corrupt and you have yo download again. Another secure check is MD5, almost all developers give a MD5 checksum to verify the files, try to calculate your time download MD5 and compare it.
3. The kernel has to be compatible with ROM installed: there are kernels for Touch wiz, AOSP and Google editions, select the correct one. Caution with AOSP, not all AOSP-based ROMS are compatible with this kernels because has a lot of modifications, verify first in kernel forum (not in ROM forum) if is compatible.
I hope this could help you.

Don't worry, just flash the new kernel. You can clean dalvik and cache , but is not necessary.

Google Edition is just a variant of i9505, like at&t or T-Mobile, but with the difference is a clean android ROM without touch wiz and all Samsung blootware, updated by google.

Just a few questions, did you try with another cable? Sometimes USB cable have problems. Did you try uninstalling all Samsung devices and connect in PC ? Using different USB ports in PC? Did you try in Linux? Did you try connecting with other ROM like CM or Touchwiz?

Hi, I did try several cables, even different computers, nothing works. I have tried another S4 (with stock ROM) and a S3 (Alliance ROM), when I connect them to a computer in which there are no drivers installed (right after installing windows in it), the computer says SAMSUNG_DEVICE, but when I connect mine the computer says UNKNOWN_DEVICE. In computers with the drivers installed, the other two work just fine, but mine is still UKNOWN_DEVICE, or cannot complete the install due to a hardware malfunction. I tried WXP and W7. I don't have access to Linux.
At the moment I have only tried the Danvdh ROM, I've done a clean install twice already not solving the problem. I haven't tried yet another ROM because I like this one and I was hoping anyone to know what is happening. Next step is trying another ROM, but it doesn't make any sense to me.
Thanks for the response.

Device detection could depend of device sign, maybe is something with device or is a configuration in ROM or Kernel. Do you have last boot loader?

No, I don't. Can I edit the device sign with root explorer? If not,can you recommend a ROM which does it all together? I can't connect via odin either, the message is the same.
Thanks!

Odin I believe only works with Samsung stock ROM, you could try that just to be sure is not device problem. Check if your build.prop file in system is correct, verify it with an original build.prop (search in Google)

I tried a STOCK ROM, the problem remains. I can't understand what happened, because the USB is not broken because the computer recognizes something.. I don't understand. I don't know what else can I do.

OK, just to rewind
Cable problem ? Not, because it works with other phones.
PC problem ? Not, because it works with other phones and drivers are OK.
ROM problem ? Not, because other ROM doesn't work too.
Phone problem ? You don't think so, because it charge. But if I remember, charge USB needs only 2 pins and not the 4 one, PC communication needs the 4 pins. Try with a OTG Cable to connect a USB storage to your phone and if it's detected then I have no more ideas but if not then maybe is phone USB problem. (Hardware problem)
USB OTG is an USB cable with female USB - micro USB to connect a USB to you phone, is useful because you can connect a keyboard, mouse, USB storage and other devices. It works with the 4 pins and maybe help to detect where is the problem.

I just bought the USB DOCK in eBay, I'm going to replace the hole piece. I'll let you know what happened. Thanks a lot.
Hi at all I represent my problem with news:
If I skip manually tracks volume remain equal for all tracks, but if I don't touch the phone and tracks changes automatically at the end of one, the next track has an upper volume. To normalize the volume of this track I have to change track to another and then return to this one...
I've tried also to change from MUSICFX to DSP manager but nothing change.
I puntualize that only volume changes, not EQ presets not applied or other.... only volume locks on upper db..
