g1 will not sync with pc

I've had my g1 for about 2 weeks. I have root. I have the RC33 update. I was able to connect to a pc after this update then one day I tried to get this song off of the computer so I plugged in the phone and it said "found new hardware"....I have tried everything different pc's different usb ports,different storage cards,....I tried the anycut app method....failed on one pc it opened on my laptop and then shut off again....I've soft reset,hard reset...removd the card and put it back in...no luck...any one with the answer please help...I will love you long time!
And the pc does recognize the phone is plugged up because its charging...

Hi,
Found new hardware means it was trying to install the usb drivers for your g1.
If this was not done correctly, than several things won't work like adb.
So that's what that message is.
But unplug your phone and go into settings, applications, development uncheck the box that says usb debugging,
Exit out and connect your cable, mount you drive and you can transfer files back and forth again.

Ok I did that but the box was already unchecked...so I plugged up the phone...and nothing happens so I check the box and the g1 acknowleded the pc and vise versa....and the installation wizard is for Android Phone...and is asking for an installation disk...so now I'm back to square 1...

Once you have plugged in the USB cable and Windows has recognized your phone (i.e. no new hardware found dialog anymore), you need to pull down the notification bar of the G1 and click on "connected to USB" or something along those lines. The phone will then give you an option to mount the SD card for read/write over the USB cable.

[Q] USB device not recognized

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.

Problems connecting to PC as harddrive..

Ok the first time I can connect fine.. but after once the USB is unplugged, I can't load it as diskdrive anymore. It won't show up on my PC. The only way I can fix this is to restart my phone.
does anyone else has this problem? quite annoying to have to restart my phone everytime I want to put files in the phone. and I always make sure sure to click "Eject Android Phone", but it made no difference.

i have used connected my device many time to my pc & never came across this issue...& dont chose any option to eject i just unplug the device
if you were running something when connecting to your pc try exiting everything & you should get the interface to choose usb connection mode

on the phone the options always pop up, i can click "mount as harddisk", but on the pc there is no reaction and I can't see the drive.
so the drive pops up for you everytime you plug in the USB? weird.. it might be my windows 7 then.. hmm

Actually it may be your comp, I had this same issue earlier when i was trying to connect my phone, I just changed usb ports and it pops up fine, so perhaps you could try that????

[Q] Rooted HTC / CPU Connection

Thanks for the help if you have it.
I have a Inspire 4G that I rooted a while back from my laptop at home. Since then when I plug my phone into my laptop via USB , nothing happens, it only charges.
However, when I bring my phone to work and plug it in, it gives me the option to select "mass storage" which is what I want to do when I'm at home.
I googled some help and was told to download the latest HTC Sync and all the drivers to my laptop at home and it still won't recognize the phone.
Any ideas?

If you check out this video: youtube.com/watch?v=fXtZIQ-RHik, it may help to go into settings->Phone Storage-> and Toggle "Mass Storage Only" on and off.
Hope this helps!

[Q] USB Mass Storage Won't Connect

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?
