A few days ago i decided to try out the boLTEd rom. It worked pretty well but their were some problems. One problem was that when i plug my phone into the computer it will not show up in my computer. Even though my default setting is set to disk drive. So i restored to my backup i did right after root... BUT my phone still wont show up as being a disk drive. Does anyone out their have any thoughts that may help?
Never mind, I got it to work again. Turned out to be my computer.

Hi all, Ive had my captivate for about a week now and have been playing with it, I've been all over the web trying to figure out why I can't sync it with my pc Ive tried both my laptop with windows 7 and my desktop running XP. Nothing will work ive downloaded the drivers from Samsung's site and kies and kies mini with no luck. No matter what i do it says device not recognized windows has stopped the device and nothing shows up on the phones screen it just shows its charging, I'm guessing its something I'm doing but i just don't know what. Once I had so much trouble I connected a Samsung flight to my PC that's running XP and it worked just fine. Can anyone help me out i want to root the captivate so i can get take off all this att crap!!!
Did you mount the phone after plugging it into your computer? You should pull down the notification bar and it should give you the option to copy files to/from computer.
Also, set you usb settings to mass storage. It's in settings...can't remember where on stock.

Yes I have put the phone in all the different usb settings debugging,media player, mass storage, ask on connection, kies. When I plug it in the only thing that changes on the phone screen is its showing its charging it doesn't give me any option to mount. The same cable will connect my old Flight phone and that phone transfers files just fine. This really has me stumped.
You downloaded and installed drivers from this site? http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT
This may sound random and stupid but are you plugging into a USB that is directly connected to the motherboard (back of the computer)? If you're on a laptop there is no way to test this...basically, there was some issues before of people not having their computer recognize their phone and the issue was too low of power from the USB.
Hopefully someone else can chime in as well. I'm pretty new to this too so I can only think of fairly basic things.
Ok. So, I go to put some new music on my phone...and when I connect via USB to my laptop it says "USB Device Not Recognized"...I click on that bubble and it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems". Bollocks.
The device is rooted and I am running TheShadowMan's KB5 DeOdexed custom ROM.
I tried three other PC's loaded with the right drivers. Deleted all the drivers and re-downloaded. Tried a different Micro-USB cable. Tried different settings in the phone. Got desperate. Tried Factory Reset. Tried Deleting all user data.
None of that crap worked.
I would just go back to stock...but since my PC isn't recognizing the phone at all...I have no way to do that. I'm almost positive it's the ROM (Or at least...it's the last thing on the list before faulty unit and sending it back in)...but I don't know how to fix that without being able to connect to a PC.
Anyone else run into this problem? Let's fix it together! YAY!
Thanks.
try a restore to your computer to an earlier date? worth a shot. I think theres a program that transfers wirelessly, you can try that. I use adb wireless from the market to run commands.

I'm 99% positive that it isn't my computer...it's obviously the phone.
I'll try the transferring info wirelessly thing...but it will be a temporary fix at best.
So...ended up talking to T-mo and doing an exchange. Still no clue what happened and they didn't really know either.
New symptom, however...
It only turns back on if the Micro-USB cord is plugged in...weird.
Anyways...feel free to leave a comment anyways...I still have the handset for 10 days and would love to try an solve the problem in case anyone else has the same problem.
Did you enable the USB debugging before? If you did, disable it and you can connect with you PC/laptop again.
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried.
I'll try and make this short. Phone charges fine on comp. or charger. Phone works some what fine. Bluetooth seems to be getting quieter and quieter, but thats not the main issue. WMDC isnt working. I uninstalled it and restarted, I downloaded a newer version, I even tried about 5 cables and still the computer isnt even seeing any device what so ever. I was going to task 29 and reflash but now I'm affraid if the phones not even being recognized. Is there some setting or something that happened to of gotten changed that block my phone other than the obvious -virus protection.
Using windows 7. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Try a different usb port. I have had issues where the port I normally use for charging/syncing refuses to recognize my phone. I just use a different port and everything works fine. Even the first port starts working again. Windows 7 does seem to reinstall drivers again when I use switch ports, so patience is required.
Tried many different ports. Can't do a hard reset because : 1- I have some info and text that needs to be sync'd and : 2 my end button doesn't work anymore. Actually it was sticking so I kinda disconnected it. I would try to do a reflash from a SD card but like I said, I have stuff that I need sync'd and I'm not really sure if the phone just isnt going bad or software. I guess either way it wouldn't matter. Would like to learn how to sync with wifi.
I believe there is a wifi-sync method/program, but am not aware of the specifics. You could save your information to your sd card and simply use a usb reader to transfer the information that way. Or you can use the blutooth explorer on the phone to transfer to another blutooth device. Or I believe Google has a sync service so you can sync you information to your computers anytime and anywhere.
You can remap the "end" function to another key.
Your phone's usb port could have a cracked connection as mine disconnects while synced if I move the phone too much.
WMDC does not recognize the Mobile Device "MSW Vista and Later OS"
Try this procedure(s);
Settings, All Settings, Connections, USB Connections, clear the "Fast File Transfer" check mark under the Active Sync option. Restart the device and before connecting to the PC Double check to see if the the fast file transfer is still clear. then go ahead and try to see if your PC sees your device. Good Luck.
"ALEXANDER OF PERSIA"
I upgraded to Sky-ICS RC7.4 Speed yesterday and today. Obviously the USB mass storage was working earlier because I got the .zip file for the upgrade on the phone. Well, just a little while ago I tried to connect so I could pull those zip files off just to save some room and it won't connect.
I can charge the phone, the laptop(Windows 7) and the phone both make sound/vibrate when connected. BUT, with I go to "Connect storage to PC" it tells me to unplug the cable, which it hasn't before but I did it anyway. I unplug the cable press the connect button again it states to connect the cable, I do. Press the button to connect and I get the same result. I've tried enable USB debugging and try again and it states to disable, blah blah blah.
It's great that I can charge the phone via USB all day long but really sucky that I can't access any of my files via my laptop.
Anyone had this issue or know of any fixes that may alleviate this issue? I sure would appreciate your help.
FYI, USB drivers are installed on the laptop and reapplied after the the issue of not being able to connect USB mass storage...
update: I am able to see the two mounts in computer management on my Windows 7 machine but not able to access them through My Computer.
I was reading from other threads about a possible Windows issue, how I find it unlikely, but I did a system restore from an earlier date and that made no difference. It's still a matter of the phone connecting completely to the pc.
Also tried different ports and usb cables, no avail.
I could really use some input so that if need be I can access the files on the phone to either flash back to stock or at least modify the files I have on there now to let me be able to attach my mass storage. I'm liking the the rom it's just a few little things like this that are making me completely love it.
i have the same issue if i plug in to the front usb ports. no problems with the back and its only been since i updated to seans latest speed stripped ICS rom
I was having the same issues. I turned the phone off, took the battery out, and then restarted it. It worked.

Correct; you need to reboot your phone because you probably connected / disconnected too fast and the phone is bugged out now.
I'm on 7.4 speed stripped and its working fine for me. Did you try installing the Samsung USB drivers exe in the dev forum?

Hi all. I have a unique problem here... not sure if it's a software of hardware issuse. Maybe you can help me out.
My phone can read all storage space while I am in the operating system. Internal storage reports as 2.34GB, SD card (also internal) reports as 9.92GB. I have no problems copying, reading, and deleting files using "es explorer" or transfering files via various wifi file tansfer programs back and forth with my desktop.
The problem lies with the fact that I cannot use the USB port at all except to charge. Even in HBOOT the computer doesn't read it! For example, if I connect the phone to the computer while it is in HBOOT and select FASTBOOT, I do not see "FASTBOOT USB", it just remains as FASTBOOT. ADB from my computer cannot detect the phone either. I have tried all my USB ports, installed HTC USB drivers, Android SDK (and associated USB driver package), tried a different computer, tried 4 different USB cables, but none of this works.
What is strange is that yesterday the phone suddenly worked via USB! I was amazed that after 2 months of it not working it just randomly started again, but figured I did something random to make it work. Then I unplugged it and then re-plugged it and now it doesn't work again... Absolutely awkward, I hope someone can help me at least identify what the problem is!
I'm currently using the latest Cyanogen 10.1 mod (March 12th), have it unlocked, and am using CWM 5.3.6. I would really appreciate any insight or help, thanks so much in advance.
OMG now it's working again. A constant factor seems to be the use of "AirDroid"... Whenever it is open and transfering the SDCard becomes recognizable and the computer can connect... Very awkward... any ideas as to the issue?
I'm scared to touch anything on it. It's transferring some music via USB.
Now I unplugged it from my computer and the re-plugged it back in and it no longer recognizes my SDCard at all... What is going on? It seems like a software issue but what could it be?
Well now it works. I plugged it in and nothing happened so I walked away. When I came back it was asking to turn on USB mode! I wasn't using any wireless wifi transfer programs, it was just in regular home screen mode and that's all... it just decided to work... huh. This appears to be random but it can't be... there must be some reason.
Well it's still working, but I haven`t unplugged it yet. The phone rebooted itself mid-transfer for some reason, but it still can be used as a USB drive. It seems that after I had begun using the internal SDCard to store stuff on (first via wifi transfer) it has become more "recognizable" through the USB connection... Could there be something wrong with the internal SDCard itself and not the USB connection? Can I reformat it to start with a clean slate?
Like right now my card is using 90% of it's storage... and it's been more recognizable now than ever before... I used to keep it at about 10-15% usage...
Okay, now after I have transferred a bunch of songs and movies to the SDCard, I rebooted the device with the USB cable still in and now it isn't recognized at all. I changed absolutely nothing; the phone was in USB mode being able to transfer files back and forth, then I rebooted and all of a sudden the USB mode doesn't work again... Not even recognized... no ADB recognition... no Windows recognition... nothing. So strange! What could be the problem?
Well it looks like it was my actual computer. I am connecting flawlessy in USB mode to the phone with my Dads computer. I guess I have to get a new motherboard as Ive always suspected mine was on its way out.
SOLVED
Looks like the issue has been solved. After having tried many different computers, it seems as if certain computers have success with reading and recognizing the HTC than others. For example,
My personal computer: Works rarely
My Dads: Works flawlessly everytime.
My Garndmas: Works intermittently (better than my personal one)
My Moms: Works flawlessly
Now I just wonder why some USB ports work and others dont! Any ideas?
