[Q] Installed USB drivers, but system doesn't see the phone. - Captivate General

The phone is working fine, the port is fine, the cord is fine.
I installed the x64 Captivate USB drivers on my x64 system, and when I hook up the phone it sees the phone, but I can't use it as a "mass storage" device and copy things to it. Any help?

Same happened to me. Try using the x32 drivers.

Worked, I'm on Froyo now, thanks!

Nevermind, I see you got it fixed.
This might be a stupid suggestion but did you Mount the drives? You have to mount the drives before Windows sees them. It will see the phone but not the drives. To mount just pull down the notification area from the top and tap on "USB Connected" then tap "Mount". Not sure if you tried that yet but that's the first thing you need to do after the USB connection is made.

debugging allows adb to work.
You need to turn on usb storage on your tablet for your computer to see it.
How do i do that?
I have cyanogenmod installed in it
It should be in the notification area on your tablet every time you plug your computer into your tablet. "USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer"
select it and then press the button "Turn on USB storage"
When you are done then press "Turn off USB storage"
Thats what i thought but theres nothing there??????

I installed cm6.2 beta last night and I think it mounts the sdcards differently than any of the other roms. Be aware there are some differences in this rom but the usb mount is universal
So what do i do? I got noting here, is ther something in the setting i have to change?
If you have clockwork recovery installed then boot into clockwork recovery. (if not then install clockwork recovery 0.8)
Plug tab into computer with USB cable
Go into "mounts and storage"
"mount USB storage"
Don't know if it makes a difference but I only use the mini usb port on the tab.
I didn't have cm 6.2 installed long because it still has all the 3g stuff on it but it seemed to me it was seeing my external sdcard (sdcard2) as my internal sdcard (sdcard). You could try putting the update.zip on a micro sdcard and putting that in the tab and then seeing if clockwork sees it to install
Did that and still nothing
Any other ideas?

[Q] USB to PC not recognized after installed Vegan-Tab 5.1

hi, I just installed Vegan-Tab 5.1 and i tried to connect the USB to my computers (windows vista/xp) neither of them recognizes the removable disk. gtablet shows USB connected, and on my PC it asked for installing Nvidia Harmony driver, i dont have one so the system failed to install it. Then drive E: shows up, but when i click it it shows "please insert a disk into removable disk E:".
When i had the original TNT ROM although it prompted for install Nvidia Harmony but i can still access E:.
Please help.
Well I think you need to turn on USB storage on the tablet
Drag notification bar down and select files to copy to/from computer
Then enable USB storage
I just installed the same rom and am having the same problem. Can't find a way to get my computer to see the usb, it shows up, but asks for disc.
I'm also having the same issue, PC won't "see" the tablet
also USB thumb drives are not recognized anymore
Missing USB Flash
I'm having the same problem running Vegan 5.11 and it can't see a flash drive plugged into it.

No prompt comes up when PC is connect to device.....
Plug in USB................... nothing happens
Also, I noticed that when a SD Card is inserted, the text under >settings>SD Card & Device storage> READS "unmount in progress" after you mount the SDCARD
Now it's working

Went into CWM and mounted the USB drive, rebooted, and now it works fine?
Also, when I am in ES file explorer and I am navigated to the /sdcard
it reads ""sdcard unmounted or not present"
got it all figured out......
Still not seeing the flash
Does connect through the mini USB to the internal SD storage...
Anyone know id there's any docs for the Vegan system?

I'm having the same problem with the unmount in progress. Can you please tell me how you figured it out? I've done everything including nvflash, CWM, to start fresh and I still am making no progress.
Thanks
I had the same problem. Here is what worked for me.
1. Plug in your USB.
2. You should see the USB icon show up on the top left taskbar.
3. Swipe that taskbar downwards.
4. Click on "USB connected"
5. Click on the "Turn on USB Storage" icon on the bottom right of the screen.
6. Click "OK"
Your drive letter should be mapped on your PC, you should be able to drag and drop files. When you are done, just click the "Turn off USB Storage" icon. You can now disconnect your USB cable.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much. This is simple once you know it, but I was completely stumped. Am still getting used to the UI.
Thanks! Saved me a lot of possible pain.
Thank you very much!!! Iwas in the same fix!

That posting is really helpful (sarcasm). How did you get it figured out?
I'm having the same problem and I'm not getting the USB connected symbol or any other notification from the tablet that the PC is connected.
I'm running CM with the clemsyn kernel 2.6.32.9.

[Q] Problem with connection with PC

Hi! I'm having a lot of troubles with my infuse. I connect the usb cable on my phone and make click USB Storage but my PC doesn't bring me the mass storage. I'm also having problems with heimdall and Odin, I cant pass through FACTORYFS, always give an error "factoryfs upload failed" but I could flash and I'm on Port_JW6_SAUROM. I also try with my captivate and the USB mass storage and Odin or Heimdall are working fine but I'm still having the 2 problems on my i997. Any idea of how can i solve this?
Have you tried uninstalling the USB drivers, and then reinstalling them? Here's a download link for them: http://d-h.st/sKF
At one time, I also had problems where Heimdall would fail after a certain point. Ended up being a simple driver issue. I'd try redoing the drivers, and maybe switching USB ports.

I've got the same issue. The phone will charge, but thats it.
Try a different computer, USB cable, USB port, drivers, uninstall Kies and just install the drivers.
If none of that works, it may be the USB port on the phone.

Everything is working fine heimdall and odin are perfect. I can flash with no problem now but windows doesn't mount none of my internal or external SD cards but I can access through the phone without problem. The estrange thing is every communications with the phone are apparently working except windows cannot mount my sd's. I'm going to try lunix. Any advice?

Use the link I provided in post 7 to mount usb. Also linux will work great ( I use Zorin)
Linux advantage- will show internal and external sd.
I have a dual-boot setup on my PC. Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. I actually prefer to boot into my linux drive when I'm going to use Heimdall. Heimdall is already a pretty simple thing to work with, but when done outside of Windows, it seems even a bit more smooth. With Ubuntu, I never have the little Windows USB "quirks" that sometimes show up.

I can access to my sd card but only when it's empty. I can copy file but then i cannot access or the transfers are slow. Any idea why?
EDIT: I'm having Error 0x8007045D: I/O Device error
Is that when using Linux? I'm just a casual tinkerer. I think you need one of the real gurus around here to figure this one out. Google search results for your error code seem to all be centered around problems with Windows and external hard drives. I did find this thread in HP support, maybe it somehow applies to you?

ok, the problem isn't with heimdall or odin, those are fine, the problem is because I can't copy files to my internal or external sd (F, GB, ICS or JB). I try windows and Linux but i can access to the usb only when the internal sd is empty but no transfers of files.
the unique problem now is the transfer of files.I now it sounds like is the cable but i can transfer files on a captivate. HELP!!

[Q] MTP not working

I've searched a few different queries and unable to find a solution.
When I connect my phone to my PC at work (running win xp), it comes up as an MTP device as expected, but when I open the drive it shows no files or folders.
I don't have the bandwidth to download HTC Sync, are there other drivers I can get that will allow it to work?
I'm pretty sure it's a windows xp problem. When I actually get it to work it is very very slow about as fast as bluetooth.
Its weird. It works on the other xp machine. I'm assuming its a driver issue but I couldn't get it to work. Was hoping someone had some insight
Sent from my VENOMized HoxL
I usually only get the MTP popup in recovery. Not quite sure how to turn it on in CM10, I go to Storage and USB computer connection and select MTP but it just goes back to Mass storage.
I have the opposite on sense. Only mtp while booted in Rom. But since it doesbt work on this machine, I have to boot into recovery and mount storage to transfer files

TWRP 2.5.0.0 and mount USB storage

Most of the times when I select USB storage in TWRP 2.5.0.0, nothing happens. The drive doesn't show up and nor does the USB attachment icon in the notification area of my PC. Works fine on other versions though. Any ideas?

I'd be more inclined to try another PC. Maybe some driver you installed is causing issues. When you mount your phone, go into your device manager and try deleting any phone devices or storage that appear, then reconnect and maybe it will install the correct driver.

Tried reflashing. In fact it even happened before I had my phone's motherboard replaced. Only on 2.5.0.0, regardless of which PC I use. Other versions of TWRP work fine.

Somehow CWM/TWRP recoveries were always fu*** up for me when it comes to USB connection ... Theoretically it depends on your PC drivers when its not working and you got the newest version of TWRP.
I cannot access files via usb storage in twrp, an unknown device appears in device manager on pc it named "One S" but it's unknown and nowhere to find a f**in driver for it... I cannot install ANY os on the phone now and I'm feeling very stupid. OTG doesn't work I cannot tick USB OTG in Mount menu, what a damn phone..............
