unplug your device. and disable usb debugging. now go to settings>applications>usb settings and select mass storage. Now go turn back on usb debugging and plug it in to your computer. It should mount in finder. If not, just tell me. I wrote the Mac section of the guide so I should be able to help
Nope followed that and nothing happened. It did not mount in finder.
Ok I think I got it rooted but how can I tell?
you need to enable usb debugging in order to get mounted in mac
settings>applications> development > USB debugging
a popup will show and you need to click OK to get it work

Edit: Kept messing around until my Charge finally mounted itself again as a CD drive; then I opened the "drive" and quickly grabbed the USB driver package, which I installed from the desktop. Now my Charge is recognized and I was able to root using adb with no problem.
The driver package is an 8.1MB .exe file; PM me if you need it emailed to you.
Problem:
I'm trying to root my Charge and can't get adb to see the device. I have Samsung drivers installed and my Fascinate is seen just fine. Not only can I not access the Charge via adb, I can't even connect to USB storage to see the Micro-SD card on it.
Any help much appreciated!
Edit: Thanks to a post by imnuts on another forum, I learned that the Charge has its own drivers which can be installed if it is first connected with USB debugging turned OFF. It mounts as a virtual CD drive, from which the drivers can be installed. This at least allows me to open the SD card on the device. However, when I turn USB debugging back on, my computer STILL can't find the drivers and isn't happy with any directory I point it to.

Hi - Would really appreciate your help here. Thanks for the tip on turning debugging off to get to the phone so I could install the USB drivers. Problem now is that ADB just refuses to connect to it. It shows up asa disk drive in Devices, but when I do a kill-server then start-server then adb devices, it doesn't list any devices, and an adb shell just says device not found.
Do I need to reboot Windows, or the phone? Seems unlikely. I can open a window to the phone, but can't get access to install the Gingerbreak and su files I need to root it. Going crazy!
Thanks,
Eric
Try rebooting both. Couldn't hurt.
Oh yeah, and if you haven't make sure the phone is back in debug mode.

Well, I'll be a monkey's brother in law. I rebooted both, checked debig mode - and it wasn't on, to my surprise. I've turned it on and off a bunch of times, so...
Anyway, I was able to finally get adb working!!! Yaaaayyy! But now I'm trying to root it, and Superuser doesn't show as an app, and Root Explorer says the f-er isn't rooted. And the Gingersnap Root Utility I've been trying to use, says it's all good to go, but its not.
Gonna try a different method, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm open.
Thanks!!!!
Use gingerbreak.
You gotta download superuser from the market

If I could flash anything I'd be rooted already, wouldn't I? How do I flash? ROM Manager needs root. Vicious circle.
I've heard that its not possible to root the Charge using current methods since the f-ing update the other day.

Check the development thread for the Charge. There's a thread on how to rollback to ED1 with root using Odin.

Dude - THANK YOU!!!! I could not get those drivers to install!!!
Please - Stickie!!!
If you want the drivers and don't trust the sources posted anywhere (we're not trustworth ?) you can get them from the phone itself. They are located in the file /system/etc/autorun.iso and you can extract them from it.

When I first got my Gs2 LTE and before I rooted it etc. I connected with Kies on my PC. part of the process involved d/ling the proper drivers. At least it'll let you know if the connection is working.

NO. It's kies that you load onto your PC. (It takes a while for it to install itself). I can't remember all the steps but it guides you. Then you connect up via USB and away you go.

If you can connect with Kies then you have the right drivers. You've got USB debugging enabled in settings/developer options. Now when you connect to the pc usb port you should get a popup on the status bar pull that down and hit turn on USB storage. That should be all you need.
OH, I forgot you're still on Gingerbread and unrooted ..is that right?

This is from my Rogers version manual.

If i have my usb cable in it pops up "usb connected. remove the cable" if i do that and press "ok" takes me back to "connect storage to pc" if i click it then it says "turn usb debugging off" click ok then says "connect usb to mass storage" ido that and it takes me right back to the "connect storage to pc"
Never do I get a pull down usb connected other than charging.

Ya that pull down thing is probably only in ICS..
OK at any time during this connection process are you able to look at you phone storage via Windows Explorer on your PC?
Here's the rest from my manual!
1. From the Home screen, tap Settings Wireless
and network USB utilities Connect storage to PC.
2. Connect a USB cable from your phone to your PC.
3. Tap Connect USB storage. Both the phone and computer
display icons to show that the device is mounted. As soon
as the connection is established a drive letter is assigned to
the phone’s storage device.
A pop-up window displays on the PC when connected.
4. Open the folder to view files.
5. Copy files between your PC and your memory card as
required.
6. To exit, tap Disconnect storage from PC.
Got it! After doing a reset of phone for the fourth time with the tech guy it finally recognized the usb?????? Geuss ill keep a eye on it. Thanks for all the help.

Hi,
I am running ViperROM and have USB debugging enabled.. But when I plug in my phone to my PC I am not able to browse to it to copy files/roms to it.. I've been downloading them through the browser which is a pain.
How can I access internal storage?
Thanks!

Still nothing... I see the HTC sync manager on the top of my notifications about running from the CD-Rom.. which is confusing as I have that disabled through my ROM i thought.
Anything I can run from terminal emulator possibly?

Ive connected my S6 to the computer but it doesnt show up in My Computer. It shows that the MTP USB Device driver has failed to install. Any solutions? Ive tried everything available on the internet. Even kies and smartswitch and samsung drivers installed. Nothing seems to work at this point.
Does it work on another PC, or with a different cable?

Try to turn on usb debugging from developer options. See what happens. If it fails then probably your usb connnection somehow got stuck in charge only mode. In that case you will need to force mtp through commandline. Just see what happens after you try to turn on debugging first.
Additional note: this is pretty basic stuff but still worth mentioning. What happens when you try to select usb options type from inside storage settings? Does the settings option open up? Is mtp selected over there?

You can force mtp through command line only if you have root access. Are you rooted?
Since mtp is already selected in the connection type list, the problem is probably due to a bad driver structure. Disconnect your device from PC. Remove all the drivers and kies software from your pc. Reboot and connect phone. Try to see if the windows driver works out not. I am guessing you are on windows 7, right?

Ive tried that as well. Windows drivers also couldnt install MTP. Im not rooted. How did this even happen? I mean It was fine yesterday.
You can try these two solutions in their order and report back.
1) On your phone, go to Security -> Device administration->Device adminstrators. Check if there are any app with admin privileges, you have to deactivate them and see if MTP access works.
2) Connect your phone, swipe ur top menu down & tap USB PC connection settings, switch from MTP to PTP. Let driver's install. Now, go to the safely remove & eject media & eject your phone, when it says its safe to remove. Just switch your PTP back to MTP, see if the drivers install successfully then.
