having real problems here..
I Flashed harcores speedmod k12g on darkys 7.5 rom (great kernel and great ROM, may i add!) and lost USB connectivity to my PC - the phone just does not recognize that it's connected to a PC via USB - it merely charges as if it was connected to the wall charger. Even when connected in download mode, odin just remains blank!
Flashed a variety of roms and kernels, but the problem still exists.
Here's everything else i've tried:
- Full wipe/factory reset
- Turned on/off USB debug + reboot - still only charges, doesn't display that its connected via USB debugging
- Tried switching between all USB modes (KIES, media player, mass storage, ask on connection)
- Reinstalled KIES, USB driver
- Tried another cable
- Tried it on a friends PC - his SGS works on it but mine doesn't - only charges. Ditto when i tried odin on his PC
The thing is that if its a hardware defect, i can't flash it back to the original firmware and give it in for under warrantly because it doesn't show up on odin!
Everything else is working perfectly fine.. Currently running darkys 8.0 (wipe - had to transfer it via bluetooth. Took absolute ages)
suggestions please
UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED:

The problem was indeed with the micro usb port on the phone - corrosion due to condensation, namely. i have a (bad) habit of using my phones as a music boom box while i take a shower (never again!). The steam from the hot water condensed in and corroded the contacts inside the phone. I then got an alcohol swab and carefully cleaned it out, and voila, it's now working as good as new!
thanks everyone for the replies!
