wth is wrong with my phone adb wont work

ok i am going ballistic
wth is the deal, i cant get adb working for nothing.
it was working, then i flashed 2.2 and had to many FC's so went back to 2.1 update 1
and now i cant get adb to work for nothing.
what is the correct procedure here to connect with the phone.
usb debugging is typically on, but people say "choose usb storage" as the usb mode, well when doing that usb debug is disabled.
so i imagine that is why.
so what the hell is going on? i am so confused and about ready to smash the phone.

As far as I know you don't mount the SD card at all when using ADB, so just enable USB debugging (i've noticed once you do this the usb setting seems to default to Kies, and if you try to change that it will disable the debug, so just select the debug and leave the usb setting alone) plug the phone in an when it asks you to mount the sd card, don't do it. Then, in theory, you should be able to use ADB. Sorry if you've already tried this....

USB problems

Hey. My captivate has been working beautifully with these new GB roms until about a week ago when my computer won't even recognize my phone. and all the phone shows that it charging but no notification about USB connection? ive tried different ports and reinstalling drivers all that good stuff and restarting my computer and turning on and off usb debugging and the cable still works with other devices so can anyone help?
Also can you tell me if samsung will replace my phone with a custom ROM on it? im thinking of doing this because i cant flash back to stock without the USB working!

Are you sure the cable is 100% functional? What other devices?
Try plugging it in to another computer as well

I have had that problem on a few gb roms too. Go into USB settings and change them to kies and then plug your phone into the computer using your USB cable. Just leave it plugged in for a few seconds, you don't have to wait for your phone to be detected. After unplugging the cable, restart your computer and phone. Once both are running again, go back into USB setting and change them back to USB storage and then plug your phone back into your computer, making sure you use a USB port directly connected to your motherboard. Works for me everytime.
Edit: If you suspect that your USB cable is not working, see if Odin will detect your phone in download mode. Don't flash anything, just see if it says connected in Odin.

it didnt work if i just go to samsung and give them the phone with the custom rom on it what would they do?

Download kies and see if your computer will detect your phone in kies mode. You could always get an SD card and put all the files on the card then move them to your internal SD. If you have a custom rom installed you can flash stock using cwm. Did you try connecting your phone in download mode to your computer running Odin??? If it doesn't detect it then your USB port is not working or your USB cable is broken. If it is working flash stock and start again. It could be a bad flash.

i have had the same problem a couple days ago, plugged in another captivate into my computer it recognized it. then plugged in my phone and everything was working fine again.
try plugging in anothe android phone running froyo or whatever version you have

Can you get your phone into download mode?

Sounds like it could be, try plugging it into the back of the computer and see if that helps.

The USB drivers for download mode are in the bootloaders and has nothing to do with the USB drivers for the rom. Even if you had a bad flash and the USB portion of the rom was corrupt, your computer would still be able to detect your phone in download mode. See if you can plug your phone into a different computer either at a friends house or at work to see if they can detect your phone with your cable. If not, you will need a new cable.

So what if that didn't work and nothing was wrong with the cable? Would it be my USB port on the phone because the cable wiggles when I put it in.

[Q] windows 7 wont recognize ns4g

My windows 7 x64 laptop won't recognize my nexus s 4g. I installed the Samsung drivers. And still nothing. My phone is not rooted. Anything else I can do?

Did u install the right drivers? Try to re install them.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

tried. didnt work

Make sure you have the right drivers, should work just fine in x64.
Does the usb storage turns on automatically?

nothing happens but charging. no USB Debugging icon, no USB mount icon. just charge. its not the cable because i plugged in a different android phone and it installed the drivers just fine. Device manager shows no changes. No windows "ding" sound when I plug it in either.
this phone is brand new so there shouldnt be anything wrong with it

Download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250583
and unzip it it has drivers for your phone and it should work then.

Computer won't recognize friends ns4g but does mine?

I wanted to root my friends ns4g but my of won't recognize it. He had a galaxy s 2 as well and it was the same issue.
I installed pdanet, Samsung drivers, different USB cords, nothing!
When I plug it in nothing happens, then about 5 mins later, USB not recognized. I manually tried to put the .inf file through the windows 7 wizard and still nothing.
Like I said my ns4g works perfectly fine, when I plug his in nothing works at all. I don't understand this at all. I have a 64bit system and made sure everything was for that. Can anyone help me out?

Can you mount usb in either recovery (if applicable) and android? Have you tried with usb debugging enabled? Also, does it show you no android device is connected in device manager?

help someone please! lol

There was something i read about the fast charge widget messing up the ability of the nexus to properly connect to the computer and a fix. Part of its design is to block USB file transfer when connected to a computer. There were several phones that couldn't connect after loading the widget.
Before i go and waste a bunch of time researching and digging for this. I would like to know if your friend has installed the fastcharge widget on his phone.

Its soo strange. I plug my phone all good, I plug his NS4G, no detection. It's strange.
Same thing happened when i was trying to root his tmobile gs2. No driver worked.

did you install tbe drivers by booting into bootloader while pluged in?
Sent from my LS670 using XDA

yeah, didnt work. Factory Reset the phone too.

Try a different USB port on PC and pull the battery for a min.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA

Try drivers from Samsung support page. It took me a bit. But usually the pdanet drivers work. You could try another pc that does not have the drivers for the nexus.

Help?

I tried to root my 4g sidekick with superoneclick, it said something I clicked root and it said http://imgur.com/qJHQY I clicked okay, all it did was freeze up and then now when i plug my phone into my computer it doesn't even recognize that its being plugged in. I can't transfer files or anything. I've tried factory restore but that does nothing either. Yes I have the drivers installed, My pc doesn't recognize anythings being plugged into it and neither does the phone. I've tested all my usb ports with other devices and they work just fine.

There was nothing that said Samsung Android but i uninstalled anything that said Android but still nothing, as I said my computers not even realizing i have anything plugged into it. But it recognizes other devices just fine

The phone is still booting? What USB mode do you have it in? It's under Applications in settings, and I believe you need it set to Kies to root it.

I've tried all the USB modes. The computer and phone itself isn't recognizing that it has a usb plugged into it. But yet it will take a charge. This all happened after trying to root the phone. I've never had an issue before.

Yes I had it in USB Debug mode. And Yes 50 bucks lol why interested?

If you don't hear the USB connection sound, there is nothing you can do on the PC side that will fix it. The phone is not acting like a USB device at all. Try plugging it in to the PC while the phone is in recovery mode or download mode.

Why yes i am lol
