Up until yesterday Droid Explorer was working fine on my PC and I was able to transfer files to and from my phone. Today when I plug in, Driod Explorer sees the phone and connects to it, but doesn't see the file system. I can still runt eh Screencast addin and other addins and see processes and such happening on the phone, but the files system isn't appearing.
I've unmounted and removed the external SD card. Still nothing.
Can anyone give any advice? I'd really appreciate it.
USB Debugging needs to be enabled. Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.
Thanks for responding: Yes I have USB debugging set and can connect to the phone, but Droid explorer still can't see the file system.
same issue
Same issue over here but mine didn't work from the get go. I am on a win 7 with USB debugging enabled. I will try on xp to see if the same thing happens.

So my mac wont recognize my devices internal or external memory card. Anyone else have any problems?
edit: started working for some reason.
Edit 2: I figured it out I had to install double twist and by default it enables auto mass storage mode with USB debugging enabled. You can not achieve this otherwise.
I have the same problem, and even have double twist installed. Still no luck, but I'm still looking. There have been several occurrences where Samsung devices of multiple types not communicating with OSX.
As the OP stated, I think you have to enable USB debugging as well. Did you do that?

goto settings, application, development, then usb debugging!
On the Captivate, prepare your phone by Settings > Applications > USB Settings > Ask On Connection. Also, Settings > Applications >> Development > USB Debugging needs to be turned on.
Then connect the USB cable to the Mac, and drag the notification bar on the phone. It'll say USB connected - choose that and then it'll ask to Mount. Once you mount the SD card(s), they'll be visible on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard).
At least, that's what I did. No need for doubletwist.
Hey guys,
1) thanks to many for tips/tricks etc, especially easy root
2) Man this GPS is a pain in my ass. Otherwise, BEAUTIFUL phone. (Day 1, 20 minutes into launch day)
Real problem:
I got weird behavior yesterday, wherein I connected the phone to my laptop (tried them all same prob) and it's configured as auto Mass Storage (I use DoubleTwist) but now I see the device, but NOT the SD cards...
Things recently done that could be a part of the issue, I suppose: installed SDK.
Now, unless I have it in USB dbg, and using Droid Explorer, I can't even friggen' tell it's there!
Any ideas? :/
Also, yesterday on the way home where it suddenly told me the that the SDCARD was invalid... rebooted and it's fine.. but some media arent locating right.
UHg.
Please help if you can, and TYIA
When i had USB Debugging on i couldn't see Drives also , turned that off , and all is back to normal.
And Mass Storage mode on off course. And once connected select Mount SD cards from phone.
I did have some weird issues with mounting/unmounting behavior when I connected the phone to my computer, but when I toggled USB debugging it started working perfectly.
in your phone go to "Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging" and enable that option. This allows both my internal SD and my external SD card to show up. While the phone is connected to the computer, it unmounts those cards from the phone so if you look up your "Settings -> SD card and phone storage" you will see them marked as unavailable. But after disconnecting the phone will remount them.
Well,
I've gone back and toggle usb debugging back on.
As point of fact Astro is now telling me /sdcard is empty, and threw me an error "error creating external cache". Doesn't help that Settings > SD Card and phone Storage > Internal SD card is showing me unavailable.
Oh crap.. :/ guess I might be exchanging soon

This happened to me before I enabled debugging. Simply power down the phone and restart it. It will remount your drives.
I've power cycled this thing so many times over the last day, it'd think a weeks gone by.
New whacky behavior... apparently the included Music Player sees my songs, but DoubleTwist doesn't. Also, about half my MP3's have 4 entries... oh what fun.
Looks like I might just be backing up my contacts, factory reset, format SD and reflash the stock image :/
When connecting to the PC with MTP, it loses the SD card if the PC doesnt properly talk MTP to it. Reboot.
When connecting to my work PC as mass storage, its not even seen on the front ports.
Reboot phone.
Set to USB to Mass Storage.
Install Samsung drivers on PC (needed? idk)
Install DoubleTwist on PC.
Uninstall DT on phone.
Reboot Phone.
Install DT on phone.
Plug into back port of work PC
Working drive.
Oh wtf. Wierd. I'll wax my config at home entirely tonight....
It was working before I rooted.
I am using PBJ Voodoo Overclock Kernel with 1.8.5 Gummycharged and the SD card fix, before I flashed the kernel/rom/fix the mass storage was working fine, I could drag and drop but now (even though it's set to USB Mass Storage) whenever I plug it in the only thing detected is 'CD Drive (E: )'. Can anyone help? I'd really like to start putting my Music/Videos on my Charge. Thanks in advance :]
Try either:
Enabling USB debugging mode (Settings --> Applications --> Development)
OR
Setting the USB mode to ask on connection

Debugging mode works as a temporary solution I guess, it causes alot of problems with my computer, it freezes it up and most of the time it can't finish the copy process, right now I'm just using my MicroSD USB reader, if that ever fails I could just put the SD card in my old phone which worked fine, thanks though
I am having the same issue. I got the phone yesterday and rooted last night and it won't connect either. It'll charge fine, but that's it. I am on my work PC so I cannot do much testing, but putting it in USB debugging mode at least made the PC recognize it.
I had to set it to ask on connection for it to work for me

I did a quick reboot and enabled the debug and it seems to work now thanks. Seems like the sd fixed works afterall. Thanks everyone.
I cannot get phone to connect in mass storage either every time it loads it brings up a scan drive screen with quick fix or continue without scanning. Then opens as CD Drive, I am completely lost and getting no feedback, have yet to try SD Fix or where to get it or how to get it.
Have you done everything I told you? After you do all that, go to setting, USB Settings then check "ask on connection."
Hi all,
I've a proud owner of this I8160 phone. I'm glad of it, but the problem is that I can't access to the SD external's contents.
Firstly, I can get the USB working on PC by enabling it on "Settings -> Wireless networks -> USB settings". However, external SD (empty folders "external_sd" and "usbStorage" make me guessing about it) is not accessible, and I don't know how to get it.
I figured that "MTP connected" note on the phone has to be involved, so I tried to disable it. Searching in the web points to that USB debugging must be enabled; however, this won't perform anything new.
Hence, my question is, do you know how to disable the MTP connection on this phone? I want only USB mass storage, no kies at all!
Any ideas? Rooting may help?
USB Utilities

No need to root your phone if you just want to transfer files. I have the same issue as yours.
Here's what I did:
1. On your phone go to settings>wifi and networks>USB Utilities
2. Do not connect the cable to the pc yet, tap first the box on the phone saying connect to pc (something like that)
3. Then connect the cable from the phone to the pc, a green android will appear then
You can now transfer files from your pc to your phone, vice versa.:good:
Hello, I just purchased an LG X Venture, model number H700. It is running android 7.0. When I first got it a few days ago, I installed the drivers for it on my windows 7 computer, and plugged it in. I got a pop up on the phone where I set the default USB mode to MTP (media transfer protocol). It worked great, and I was able to tranfer files between my PC and my phone.
Then I tried to get adb debugging to work with my phone, and screwed everything up. I enabled developer options, and then checked USB debugging. I also accidentally hit the "revoke USB debugging authorization button." I installed what I think are the correct ADB drivers on my PC. Then I plugged my phone back into my PC. This time, nothing comes up. I've checked in the device manager, etc., and I can't find a trace of the phone anywhere.
I looked back at developer options under USB configuration, and it's still set to MTP. But somehow I screwed something up, because my phone and computer no longer recognize each other (except for charging).
I even tried my phone with two other computers (one also windows 7, the other mac), and got the same behavior.
Any idea how to fix this? Ideally I'd like to get ADB to work, but I would settle for just getting MTP back haha.
Actually, solved it! Turns out the cable I was using was damaged. I used another one and MTP works fine on all computers.
